More Insights

Built in 1975 (50 years old).
Condition: The property was built in 1975, making it 49 years old. While some updates like new AC and garage doors have been made, and windows are partially dual-paned, the listing explicitly states that 'Kitchen and bathroom cabinets, although functional, should probably be updated to meet tastes of buyer' and 'Pool area in back needs upgrade work.' The images confirm the dated aesthetic of the bathrooms, with older vanities, countertops, light fixtures, and tile work (including a gold-framed shower). The carpets throughout the living areas and bedrooms appear clean but are not modern. The property is well-maintained and functional, but requires significant cosmetic updates in key areas (kitchen, bathrooms, pool) to meet current quality standards and buyer expectations, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
