More Insights

Built in 1997 (29 years old).
Condition: This 1997-built townhome is in good, move-in ready condition. The kitchen has been extensively upgraded with newer stainless steel appliances, modern white shaker cabinets, quartz countertops, and a contemporary tile backsplash, giving it an excellent rating. The main living areas feature updated hardwood flooring. While the bathrooms are clean and functional with some updated light fixtures, their overall style, including some tile and vanity designs, appears to be from an earlier renovation or the original build, preventing an 'excellent' overall score. The property is well-maintained with minimal wear and tear, and major systems appear functional, aligning with the 'good' criteria for a property of its age with significant updates.
