More Insights

Built in 1954 (72 years old).
Condition: Built in 1954, the property shows signs of regular upkeep and some past renovations (dual-pane windows, tile flooring, sewer updates in 2007-2008). However, the main kitchen features dated wood cabinets, tile countertops, and older white appliances. Bathrooms, while clean, also exhibit older styles (e.g., reddish-brown shower tile, pedestal sink in casita). The presence of wall-mounted AC units instead of central HVAC indicates a functional deficiency for modern comfort. While move-in ready, significant cosmetic and system updates would be required to meet current quality standards.
