More Insights
Built in 1960 (65 years old).
Condition: This 1960-built home is described as 'turnkey' with a 'newly remodeled kitchen' and 'remodeled bathroom,' indicating recent updates that make it move-in ready. While the kitchen features newer countertops, the visible appliances (like the white refrigerator) appear older, suggesting a functional refresh rather than a high-end renovation. The bathroom is also stated as remodeled. The primary bedroom benefits from a modern mini-split cooling system. The interior appears clean and well-maintained, with a mix of carpet, tile, and laminate flooring. Despite its age, the property's recent updates to key areas and its 'turnkey' status align with the 'Good' criteria of being move-in ready with no immediate renovations required, and systems being well-maintained with minimal wear and tear, even if not a full, extensive, high-end renovation.
