More Insights
Built in 1963 (63 years old).
Condition: Built in 1963, this home is well-maintained and clean, but the kitchen and bathrooms are significantly dated in style and features, likely having been renovated 15-30 years ago. The kitchen features older oak cabinets, laminate countertops, and a mix of white and black appliances that are not modern. Bathrooms have dated fixtures, vanities, and a gold-framed shower enclosure. Flooring consists of older carpet and laminate. While functional and move-in ready, it requires minor to moderate updates to meet current aesthetic and quality standards.
