More Insights
Built in 1962 (64 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1962, shows a mix of recent maintenance and significantly outdated features. While the description notes a new gas furnace, recent interior/exterior paint, and a pool remodel within the last three years, the kitchen and bathroom are clearly dated. The kitchen features traditional oak cabinets, speckled countertops, and black appliances, along with terracotta-style tile flooring. The bathroom is particularly outdated with a colorful tiled vanity, beige sinks, and older floor tiles. Flooring throughout the house is inconsistent, with some worn wood/laminate and dated tiles. There is no central air conditioning, which is a significant drawback. The home is functional and maintained, but requires minor to moderate updates to key areas to meet current aesthetic and comfort standards, aligning with a 'Fair' condition.
