More Insights
Built in 1996 (29 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1996 (28 years ago), has received recent cosmetic and outdoor updates including freshly painted main areas, a refinished backyard with new concrete, and newly seeded lawns, which enhance curb appeal and move-in readiness. The exterior image supports a well-maintained appearance. However, the listing explicitly notes 'Limited Information on System Updates' and 'high-end interior finishes beyond paint.' Without specific details or images of the kitchen and bathrooms, it's highly probable that these key areas, if original or only minimally updated since 1996, would be functional but show signs of being outdated in terms of style and features, requiring minor updates to meet current standards. This aligns with the 'Fair' category, indicating an aged but maintained home where major components are functional but outdated.
