More Insights
Built in 1973 (52 years old).
Condition: The property was built in 1973, making it over 50 years old. While the kitchen has been updated with modern stainless steel appliances, white shaker cabinets, and butcher block countertops, the overall aesthetic of the home, including the exposed wood ceilings, stone fireplace, and some light fixtures, retains a rustic, dated charm. The bathrooms are not clearly visible in the images, but it's unlikely they've undergone a full modern renovation given the property's age and partial updates. The property appears well-maintained and functional, but it hasn't been extensively renovated throughout to meet current quality standards, placing it in the 'Fair' category where it's aged but maintained with occasional updates, and some components show signs of being outdated.
