More Insights

Built in 1981 (45 years old).
Condition: Built in 1981, this property is explicitly described as a 'blank canvas' requiring 'significant cosmetic and potentially system updates.' The kitchen features highly dated dark wood cabinetry, tile countertops and backsplash, older white and black appliances, and fluorescent panel lighting, all indicative of an unrenovated 1980s aesthetic. Bathrooms also show significant age with dated vanities, brass fixtures, frosted glass shower enclosures, and notably, carpet in the primary bathroom. While the structure appears sound, the extent of necessary updates in key areas like the kitchen and bathrooms goes beyond minor repairs, requiring substantial rehabilitation to meet modern standards.
