More Insights

Built in 1959 (67 years old).
Condition: Built in 1959, this property has undergone artistic and eclectic updates, making it move-in ready for a buyer who appreciates its unique style. The kitchen features functional but dated wood cabinets, tile countertops, and an older black range, though it includes a modern stainless steel refrigerator and a newer mosaic backsplash. The bathroom is clean and well-maintained with intricate mosaic tile work and a custom wood vanity, but its overall style, including the tile counters and corrugated metal ceiling, is distinctly dated. While mini-split AC units provide modern cooling in some areas, the presence of portable AC units in bedrooms and a wood-burning stove for heating indicates a mix of systems. The terracotta-style tile flooring and wood plank ceilings are consistent throughout but contribute to an older aesthetic. Overall, the home is maintained through regular upkeep and occasional updates, but major components and styles in the kitchen and bathroom show signs of being outdated and would require substantial renovation for a contemporary appeal.
