More Insights
Built in 1959 (67 years old).
Condition: Built in 1959, this home has received cosmetic updates including fresh interior paint and hardwood flooring, and one bathroom has been recently renovated to a modern standard. However, the kitchen features older style wood cabinets and dated countertops, and the second bathroom also appears to be an older renovation (15-25 years old) with dated tile and vanity. While functional and well-maintained, these areas require minor updates to meet current aesthetic standards. The property's age also raises concerns about the condition of major systems (plumbing, electrical, roof) which are not explicitly stated as having been recently updated, aligning with the 'Fair' category's description of an aged but maintained home with functional but outdated major components.
