More Insights
Built in 1955 (71 years old).
Condition: Built in 1955, this property retains significant 'original 1950s charm,' which translates to highly outdated kitchen and bathroom conditions, styles, and features. The kitchen features original-style wood cabinets, dated laminate countertops, a very old tile backsplash, and older appliances. The bathroom has an outdated vanity, tile, and fixtures, including a dated shower/tub combo with sliding glass doors. Flooring throughout includes worn carpet and dated tile. The presence of window AC units suggests a lack of central cooling, and the overall description explicitly states the home is 'ready for reinvention' and requires 'extensive renovation.' While livable, it requires substantial rehabilitation to meet modern standards, aligning with the 'poor' condition criteria.
