More Insights
Built in 1981 (44 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1981, has undergone significant updates that make it move-in ready. The description highlights 'modern upgrades throughout,' including newer paint, carpet, recessed lighting, and crown molding. The hallway bathroom (Image 6) is genuinely contemporary with a modern vanity, updated fixtures, and a tiled shower/tub with a glass door, suggesting a renovation within the last 5-15 years. While the kitchen (Images 2, 4) features traditional wood cabinets and some dated white appliances (fridge, stove), it also includes a stainless steel dishwasher and recessed lighting. The 'marble countertops' mentioned in the description are not clearly visible in the images, which show darker, possibly laminate or basic granite-look counters. Despite the kitchen not being fully 'modern' in all aspects, the overall condition, especially the updated bathroom and fresh paint/carpet, aligns with a 'Good' score, indicating a well-maintained property with functional systems and recent updates, even if not a full, top-to-bottom renovation.
