More Insights

Built in 1959 (67 years old).
Condition: Built in 1959, this property is well-maintained with functional systems, but many components show signs of being outdated. The main house features well-kept hardwood floors and a kitchen with some updated stainless steel appliances (refrigerator, range) but also an older dishwasher and a rustic butcher block countertop style. The bathrooms in the main house are clean and functional but feature dated tile work, vanities, and fixtures. The separate ADU is significantly more dated, with older appliances, laminate countertops, and basic finishes, clearly requiring updates for modern appeal. While move-in ready, the property would benefit from minor updates to bring the bathrooms and ADU to current standards, aligning it with the 'Fair' category.
