More Insights

Built in 1977 (49 years old).
Condition: Built in 1977, this home has been 'beautifully updated' as described. The kitchen is a highlight, featuring a recent renovation with modern white cabinetry, spacious stone countertops, and stainless steel KitchenAid appliances, making it highly functional and aesthetically pleasing. The main living areas boast clean, marble-look tile flooring and recessed lighting. While the bathrooms are clean and functional, some elements like the vanities and fixtures in the primary and one guest bathroom appear to be from an earlier renovation (likely 15-20 years ago), though one guest shower has a more modern tile and glass enclosure. The bedrooms have clean carpeting. Overall, the property is move-in ready with no immediate renovations required, aligning with the 'Good' score criteria for a home extensively renovated within the last 5 to 15 years.
