More Insights
Built in 1967 (58 years old).
Condition: Built in 1967, this property is well-maintained and presented as 'turn-key,' but key elements like the kitchen and bathrooms show signs of being outdated. The kitchen features standard white appliances and basic cabinetry, while the bathroom vanity and gold-trimmed mirrored closet doors suggest an older renovation, likely 15-30 years ago. The presence of three window/wall air conditioning units instead of central air is a significant indicator of an older system. While clean and functional, the property requires minor updates to meet current aesthetic and comfort standards, aligning with a 'Fair' condition rating.
