More Insights
Built in 1958 (67 years old).
Condition: Built in 1958, the property's kitchen and bathroom are extremely dated, featuring older appliances, cabinets, countertops, and fixtures that appear to be 30-50+ years old. While the listing mentions 'fresh paint and new flooring throughout,' these are cosmetic updates that do not address the substantial need for rehabilitation in the core areas. The wood paneling throughout the living spaces is also very dated. Major systems like HVAC are unspecified, which is a significant concern for a desert climate. The property requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation to meet modern standards for comfort and functionality.
