More Insights

Built in 1999 (27 years old).
Condition: Built in 1999, this home is well-maintained and functional, but the kitchen and bathrooms feature styles and finishes (e.g., light wood cabinets, speckled granite, black appliances, glass block showers, beige tile) that are characteristic of its original build era and are now considered dated. The carpet shows visible wear and staining, indicating a need for replacement. While major systems like solar and a backup generator are present, the property requires minor cosmetic updates to align with current design trends, fitting the 'fair' condition criteria.
