More Insights
Built in 1950 (76 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1950, is well-maintained with wood floors and neutral paint throughout the main living areas. However, the kitchen features dated white appliances, light wood cabinets, and speckled countertops, suggesting a renovation 15-30 years ago. The bathroom also shows signs of updates from a similar period with its tile work, although the vanity appears more recent. While functional and clean, these key areas would require minor updates to meet current aesthetic standards. The description also notes a 'Potential for Older Systems' and 'Absence of Air Conditioning', aligning with the 'Fair' category's criteria for an aged but maintained home with functional but outdated major components.
