More Insights

Built in 1969 (57 years old).
Condition: Built in 1969, this property is over 50 years old and shows minimal to no significant renovations in key areas. The kitchen features severely outdated tile countertops, older white appliances, dated cabinetry, and an old fluorescent light fixture, requiring a complete overhaul. Bathrooms also exhibit very dated fixtures, vanity, lighting (Hollywood-style bulbs), and wallpaper, with carpet in the vanity area, indicating a need for full renovation. While the description states 'well-maintained' and 'needs mostly cosmetic upgrades,' the extent of these cosmetic needs, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms, constitutes 'substantial repairs and rehabilitation' to meet modern living standards, aligning with a 'Poor' condition score. Other areas show worn carpet and dated light fixtures.
