More Insights

Built in 1974 (52 years old).
Condition: Built in 1974, the property has received some significant exterior updates such as newer windows, roof, driveway, and garage door. However, the listing explicitly states that original underlying systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) may require future inspection or modernization. Crucially, there are no details or images provided for the kitchen or bathrooms, which are often the most telling indicators of a home's interior condition and style. Given the property's age and the lack of mention of recent interior renovations, it's highly probable these key areas are outdated and would require renovation to meet modern standards. The overall condition suggests an aged but maintained home that requires minor to moderate updates, particularly in the interior.
