More Insights

Built in 1985 (41 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1985, presents as move-in ready with no immediate renovations required. It benefits from recent updates including new luxury carpeting and sleek quartz countertops in the kitchen. While the kitchen appliances are white and not modern stainless steel, and the bathroom fixtures are clean but not contemporary, all components appear well-maintained and functional. The overall interior is fresh and clean, aligning with the 'Good' criteria of being well-maintained with minimal wear and tear, and having some updated components without a full recent renovation.
