More Insights
Built in 1997 (29 years old).
Condition: Built in 1997, this home is exceptionally well-maintained and features significant upgrades like owned solar and a beautifully renovated primary bathroom. However, the kitchen, while custom, has a very specific and somewhat dated aesthetic with colorful hand-painted tiles on the island and countertop edges. Other bathrooms also show signs of being outdated. While move-in ready and in pristine condition, many interior elements would require cosmetic updates to align with current styles, fitting the 'aged but maintained through regular upkeep and occasional updates' criteria for a 'Fair' rating.
