More Insights
Built in 1992 (34 years old).
Condition: Built in 1992, the property is well-maintained with updated flooring and paint, making it move-in ready. However, the kitchen features granite countertops and white cabinets that, while functional, are not contemporary. The bathrooms, particularly the master, show significant signs of being outdated with tile countertops, gold-accented fixtures, and older tile patterns. The listing description itself suggests that a new owner will 'envision their own upgrades and personal touches,' indicating that major components are functional but show signs of being outdated, aligning with a 'fair' condition.
