Built in 2000, the property is 24-26 years old, placing it in the 'Fair' category based on age.

The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 32670, living area = 3612.

Equipped with 38 owned solar panels, this estate offers significant long-term utility savings and sustainable living, providing a high-value asset for modern homeowners.
