More Insights
This property has been on the market for 97 days.
Built in 1962 (63 years old).
Condition: This property, built in 1962, has undergone significant and recent upgrades to major systems, including a new roof in 2020 and an upgraded HVAC system in 2021, both falling well within the 5-15 year renovation window for the 'Good' category. Solar panels are also a modern addition. The kitchen features updated stainless steel appliances, though the honey oak cabinets and speckled countertops suggest an update that is functional and clean but not ultra-modern (likely 15-25 years old). The flooring, a mix of hardwood and carpeting, appears well-maintained throughout. While no bathroom images were provided, the overall condition of the visible areas, including the well-maintained backyard with pavers and pergola, indicates a move-in ready home with no immediate renovation required. The property is well-maintained and functional, aligning with the 'Good' condition criteria.
