More Insights
Built in 1956 (70 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1956, the property has undergone significant updates, including a newer roof, heating, and AC, as stated in the description. The interior images reveal Brazilian cherry wood floors, recessed lighting, and updated bathrooms with modern vanities and fixtures. The kitchen features good quality stainless steel appliances (professional range) and granite countertops, though the cabinet style and backsplash appear to be a bit more traditional and possibly renovated 10-15 years ago rather than ultra-recent. Overall, the home is move-in ready with well-maintained systems and finishes, fitting the 'Good' criteria.
