More Insights
Built in 1997 (29 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1997 (27 years old), is well-maintained and move-in ready, featuring hardwood and tile flooring throughout. The kitchen has modern stainless steel appliances and white cabinetry, suggesting updates. However, the bathrooms, while clean and functional, show signs of being dated with older light fixtures. A significant factor is the 'unspecified cooling system' noted as a weakness, which indicates a potential need for a major system update. Overall, the home is aged but maintained through regular upkeep and occasional updates, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
