More Insights

Built in 1951 (74 years old).
Condition: Built in 1951, this property has undergone significant renovations that make it largely move-in ready. The kitchen features modern stainless steel appliances and updated cabinetry, though the yellow wall color is a distinct aesthetic choice. One bathroom is notably modern with a freestanding tub and floating vanity, while another bathroom shows dated tiling and fixtures, likely from 15-30 years ago. The main living areas benefit from updated wood-look flooring, and the presence of smart home technology indicates recent electrical and control system upgrades. While not a full, cohesive recent renovation, many key components have been updated within the last 5-15 years, ensuring functionality and a comfortable living environment, despite some older elements.
