More Insights

Built in 1962 (64 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1962, has received significant recent updates including a new roof (5 years ago), updated windows (2024), brand new laminate wood flooring, and fresh interior paint (January 2025). These updates make the main living areas and bedrooms move-in ready and well-maintained. However, the kitchen features very dated wood cabinets, laminate countertops, an older dishwasher, and dated fluorescent lighting, despite a newer range and a recently updated backsplash. Both bathrooms also exhibit very dated vanities, fixtures, and overall style. While functional, the kitchen and bathrooms show clear signs of being outdated and would likely require renovation to meet modern aesthetic standards, placing the property in the 'Fair' category.
