More Insights

Built in 1994 (32 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1994, has undergone significant cosmetic updates, particularly in the kitchen and primary bathroom, which feature modern white cabinetry, quartz countertops, and wood-look flooring. These updates align with recent trends, suggesting an extensive renovation within the last 5-15 years. The home is move-in ready with a fresh, contemporary aesthetic. However, the underlying major systems (HVAC, plumbing, roof) are likely original to the 30-year-old structure, which, while functional, may be nearing the end of their expected lifespan, preventing an 'Excellent' rating.
