More Insights
Built in 1991 (34 years old).
Condition: Built in 1991, this home is exceptionally well-maintained with good curb appeal, gleaming hardwood floors, and clean carpets. However, the kitchen features dark wood cabinetry, speckled granite countertops, and black appliances (including a paneled refrigerator), which are stylistically outdated. Similarly, the bathrooms, while clean and functional with a jet tub, feature vanities and tile work consistent with 90s/early 2000s design. The property is move-in ready and shows no signs of deferred maintenance, but the major components like the kitchen and bathrooms show clear signs of being outdated, aligning with the 'Fair' category's description of an aged but maintained home requiring minor updates to meet current aesthetic standards.
