More Insights

Built in 1948 (78 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1948, is well-maintained and functional, but the interior, especially the kitchen and bathrooms, reflects renovations that are 15-30 years old. The kitchen features dated light wood cabinets, dark granite countertops, and a very specific, ornate metal tile backsplash. Appliances are a mix, with a newer stainless steel refrigerator but an older-style range. Bathrooms have older vanities, light fixtures, and tile choices that are clearly not contemporary. While the property is clean and move-in ready, its aesthetic and finishes are outdated, suggesting a need for minor to moderate updates to meet current buyer preferences. The core systems, given the age of the home, may also be older, aligning with the 'aged but maintained' and 'functional but show signs of being outdated' criteria for a 'Fair' rating.
