More Insights
Built in 1986 (39 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1986, features a beautifully updated kitchen with modern white shaker cabinets, quartz countertops, new flooring, and contemporary black/stainless steel appliances, which is a significant strength. Hardwood floors and plantation shutters throughout the main living areas also contribute positively. However, at least one bathroom (as seen in Image 6) is notably outdated with an older wood vanity, tile countertop, gold-framed shower enclosure, and an older light fixture, requiring immediate renovation to match the modern kitchen. While some areas are updated, the inconsistency in renovation quality, the age of the property, and the potential for older major systems (HVAC, plumbing, electrical) as noted in the weaknesses, indicate that it requires minor updates beyond the kitchen to achieve a consistent modern aesthetic and ensure all systems are within current expected lifespans. This aligns with the 'Fair' criteria of requiring minor updates and having major components that are functional but show signs of being outdated.
