More Insights

Built in 2002 (24 years old).
Condition: The property was built in 2002, making it 22 years old. While well-maintained and move-in ready, the kitchen and bathrooms largely feature original early 2000s styles, including light wood cabinets, dark speckled granite countertops, and black appliances that appear dated. The main living areas have updated wood-look flooring, and the primary shower has some contemporary elements, but these are not extensive enough to constitute a full recent renovation. The property is functional but shows signs of being outdated in key areas, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
