More Insights

Built in 1981 (45 years old).
Condition: Built in 1981, this home has been well-maintained and is move-in ready. The kitchen features updated stainless steel appliances, a wine refrigerator, and granite countertops, but the traditional white cabinet style and tile flooring appear to be from an update 15-25 years ago, rather than a recent modern renovation. The bathrooms, especially the primary, show more significant signs of being outdated with older tile choices, carpet flooring, and light fixtures. While functional, these areas would benefit from aesthetic updates to meet current standards. The property also lacks explicit mention of central AC, which could be a consideration.
