More Insights
Built in 1956 (70 years old).
Condition: The property is move-in ready with updated major systems including newer windows and efficient split cooling/heating systems. The description notes 'new kitchen and bath flooring' and 'beautifully maintained original oak floors.' While the kitchen features white painted cabinets and functional appliances, the tile countertops and backsplash appear dated. Similarly, the bathroom has a modern vanity and mirror, but the pink shower tiles indicate an older renovation. These elements, while clean and functional, suggest the property has not undergone a full, recent renovation to current aesthetic standards, but rather a significant refresh and system updates within the last 5-15 years, fitting the 'Good' criteria.
