More Insights
Built in 1971 (54 years old).
Condition: Built in 1971, this property is over 50 years old. While the kitchen has received some updates, including stainless steel appliances, painted cabinets, subway tile backsplash, and recessed lighting, these appear to be cosmetic and functional improvements rather than a full, extensive renovation. The overall aesthetic of the living area, with its carpet and older window frames, suggests that other parts of the unit have not been extensively renovated and show signs of being outdated. The property is maintained and move-in ready, but it requires minor updates to bring it to a more contemporary standard beyond the refreshed kitchen. The lack of bathroom images prevents a full assessment, but based on the visible areas, the property aligns with the 'Fair' category, indicating an aged home maintained with occasional updates, where major components are functional but show signs of being outdated.
