More Insights
Built in 1962 (63 years old).
Condition: Built in 1962, the property's age suggests that major systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) are likely original or older and may require significant updates, as noted in the property analysis. However, the kitchen and bathroom have been recently and tastefully updated with modern features such as shaker cabinets, subway tile, stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting, and a floating vanity, making these areas appear to be in good condition. The overall property has not undergone a full recent renovation, placing it in the 'Fair' category where it is aged but maintained with occasional updates, and major components may be functional but outdated.
