More Insights
Built in 1969 (56 years old).
Condition: Built in 1969, the property is over 50 years old and the listing explicitly states that 'Approved plans included for a full remodel of the existing home' and that it 'likely requires extensive modernization and updates to meet contemporary standards.' This indicates a need for substantial repairs and rehabilitation, particularly for the kitchen and bathrooms, which would undoubtedly be very dated and require complete overhauls to meet current quality standards and styles. While not a tear-down, it requires significant investment beyond minor updates to be considered move-in ready by modern standards.
