More Insights
Built in 1974 (51 years old).
Condition: Built in 1974, this property is well-maintained with fresh interior paint, but key areas like the kitchen show significant signs of being outdated. The kitchen features dated tile countertops, two-tone cabinets that appear to be from a renovation 15-30 years ago, and functional but older appliances. While the hardwood floors are in good condition and the overall property is move-in ready, it requires minor updates, particularly in the kitchen and likely the bathrooms (though not explicitly shown), to meet modern aesthetic and quality standards. The property's age and the style of its most recent significant updates align with the 'fair' category, indicating it's aged but maintained, with functional but outdated major components.
