More Insights
Built in 1958 (67 years old).
Condition: Built in 1958, this architectural masterpiece is exceptionally well-maintained for its age, featuring 'thoughtfully preserved original details' and modern amenities like solar energy. However, the kitchen, while clean and functional, contains visibly dated appliances (white refrigerator, older built-in oven/cooktop) that would require updating for contemporary appeal. The property is move-in ready, but the kitchen and potentially bathrooms show signs of being outdated in style and features, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria for properties built over 20 years ago with functional but aged components.
