More Insights

Built in 1990 (35 years old).
Condition: Built in 1990, this property is well-maintained with desirable features like a Trex deck and stainless steel kitchen appliances. However, the kitchen's dark cabinetry and speckled granite countertops, along with the primary bathroom's brass fixtures and tile, reflect an older aesthetic (likely 15-25 years old or original to the build). The wet bar and some light fixtures also appear dated. While functional and clean, the interior finishes would require significant updates to align with current modern styles and expectations.
