More Insights
Built in 1979 (47 years old).
Condition: Built in 1979, this property shows signs of age, particularly in the interior. While the description notes a newer tile roof and updated subpanels, the images reveal very dated kitchens and bathrooms with original or very old cabinets, laminate countertops, older white appliances, and fluorescent lighting. The flooring consists of older carpets and dated laminate/linoleum. These areas are functional but require significant cosmetic and appliance updates to meet current standards, aligning with the 'Fair' category where major components are functional but show signs of being outdated and require minor updates or repairs.
