More Insights
Built in 1971 (54 years old).
Condition: Built in 1971, this property is over 50 years old and explicitly described as needing 'some TLC' and being 'ready for your vision' for a 'modern refresh.' The kitchen features original-style wood cabinets, dated light fixtures, and an overall 1970s aesthetic, despite some newer stainless steel appliances. Both bathrooms are significantly outdated with original-style vanities, countertops, and shower enclosures/tubs, requiring full renovation. While no structural defects are explicitly stated, the age and condition of visible components strongly suggest that major systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) are likely original or very old and would require substantial repairs and rehabilitation to meet modern standards and comfort, aligning with the 'poor' condition criteria.
