More Insights

Built in 1987 (39 years old).
Condition: Built in 1987, this property has undergone significant updates, particularly the kitchen which features modern stainless steel appliances, contemporary white cabinetry, and an oversized island, appearing to be extensively renovated within the last 5-10 years. The main living areas boast well-maintained hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, and fresh paint, contributing to a move-in ready condition. While some bathrooms show styles that suggest updates 10-20 years ago (e.g., mosaic tiles, older vanity styles, and lighting fixtures), they are clean and fully functional, not requiring immediate renovation. The overall property is well-maintained with modern cosmetic touches, aligning with the 'Good' criteria of being move-in ready with updated components and functional systems, even if not every element is 'virtually new'.
