More Insights
Built in 1978 (48 years old).
Condition: Built in 1978, this property is 46 years old and shows clear signs of needing substantial renovation. The main living area has had its flooring removed, exposing the subfloor. The kitchen features highly dated dark wood cabinets, worn laminate countertops, old white appliances (refrigerator, dishwasher, built-in oven/microwave), a dated electric cooktop, and an old fluorescent light fixture. All bathrooms have very dated vanities with cultured marble countertops, older fixtures, and basic fiberglass shower/tub inserts. Carpets in the bedrooms are heavily worn and stained. The overall condition, including dated light fixtures, popcorn ceilings, and the explicit listing description stating it's 'ready for renovation' and requires 'sweat equity,' indicates a need for extensive rehabilitation rather than minor updates.
