More Insights
Built in 1983 (42 years old).
Condition: This property, built in 1983, has undergone significant renovations as described and shown in the images. The kitchen features modern stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and well-maintained wood cabinetry, suggesting a renovation within the last 5-15 years. The living areas boast attractive hardwood flooring and fresh paint. While one bathroom presents a more contemporary style with a glass-enclosed shower and updated vanity, the other, featuring a clawfoot tub and mirrored wall, has a distinct, somewhat older aesthetic, even if recently 'remodeled.' Some lighting fixtures, like the track lighting, are functional but not ultra-modern. Overall, the property is move-in ready, well-maintained, and has had major systems updated, aligning with the 'Good' condition criteria for a property extensively renovated within the last 5-15 years.
