More Insights
Built in 1985 (40 years old).
Condition: The property was built in 1985, making it 39 years old. While it appears well-maintained and functional, the kitchen and bathrooms are significantly dated. The kitchen features older wood cabinets, speckled laminate countertops, a dated tile backsplash, and a mix of older black appliances (refrigerator, range) with a possibly newer stainless steel dishwasher. The bathrooms have similar older wood vanities and basic fiberglass tub/shower combos with sliding glass doors. The flooring consists of dated beige tile in the main living areas and worn carpet in the bedrooms. The light fixtures, including the ceiling fan, also appear older. The property is move-in ready but requires minor to moderate cosmetic updates to modernize the style and features, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
