More Insights
Built in 1994 (32 years old).
Condition: Built in 1994, this property is 30 years old. While it benefits from recent interior paint, updated kitchen granite counters and stainless-steel appliances, and a mix of hardwood, tile, and Berber carpet flooring, the bathrooms, as depicted in the images, feature dated small square tiles and brass/gold-tone shower enclosures, suggesting they are either original or were renovated 20-30 years ago. Although the description mentions an 'upgraded primary bath,' the visual evidence points to an older style. Other elements like some light fixtures also appear dated. The home is well-maintained and functional, but its age and the visible outdated elements in key areas like bathrooms indicate it requires minor updates to meet current aesthetic standards, aligning with a 'Fair' condition.
