More Insights
Built in 1995 (30 years old).
Condition: The property was built in 1995, making it 29 years old. While the listing mentions 'new carpet, new paint throughout, new blinds, new refrigerator,' these are cosmetic updates. The kitchen features dated honey oak cabinets, older countertops, and a mix of appliance ages, with an older electric range. The bathroom also presents with dated honey oak vanity, cultured marble-style countertop, and a very dated Hollywood strip light fixture. The tile in both the kitchen and bathroom, along with the tub surround, appears original or from an older renovation. The presence of a wall-mounted AC unit rather than central air further indicates older systems. The property is move-in ready due to the fresh paint and carpet, but the kitchen and bathrooms require significant updates to meet current aesthetic and functional standards, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
