More Insights
Built in 1956 (69 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1956, is well-maintained and move-in ready, with fresh paint, updated flooring in some areas (carpets, wood laminate), and some modern light fixtures. However, the kitchen features traditional wood cabinets and speckled granite countertops, along with a white dishwasher, which are stylistically dated. The bathrooms also present with basic white tiling and standard fixtures, appearing clean but not modern. While functional and clean, these key areas show clear signs of being outdated, suggesting they were either renovated 15-30 years ago or are original with good upkeep. This aligns with the 'Fair' criteria where the home is aged but maintained through regular upkeep and occasional updates, and major components are functional but show signs of being outdated, potentially requiring minor updates for modern aesthetics.
