More Insights

Built in 1981 (45 years old).
Condition: Built in 1981, this property is exceptionally well-maintained with beautiful hardwood floors and crown moldings throughout. The kitchen features updated stainless steel appliances and a herringbone wood floor, but the granite countertops and cabinet style, along with the bathroom's marble-look tile and light fixtures, suggest that the last major renovations in these key areas occurred 15-25 years ago. While fully functional and clean, these elements are showing signs of being outdated and would require aesthetic updates to meet current modern standards, aligning with the 'Fair' category criteria.
