More Insights
Built in 1985 (40 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1985, is well-maintained with a freshly painted interior and updated stainless steel kitchen appliances, including a premier Viking range. However, the kitchen cabinetry style, the fluorescent panel lighting, and the wood paneling in the family room appear dated. While the bathrooms are clean and functional with features like a jetted tub, their overall style is not contemporary. The property is move-in ready but shows signs of being aged with some outdated components, aligning with the 'Fair' category's criteria for a home built over 20 years ago with regular upkeep and occasional updates, rather than a full recent renovation.

Potential for Dated Interior Finishes: Despite a freshly painted interior and updated kitchen appliances, the 1985 build year suggests that other interior elements, such as bathrooms, flooring in some areas, or fixtures, may retain original or older aesthetics that could require further investment for modernization to meet contemporary tastes.
Age of Major Systems: As a home built in 1985, some major systems (e.g., roof, plumbing, electrical infrastructure, or primary HVAC components if not recently replaced) may be approaching or have exceeded their typical lifespan, potentially leading to higher maintenance costs or the need for significant capital expenditures in the near future.
