More Insights

Built in 1989 (37 years old).
Condition: The property was built in 1989 (35 years ago). While recently painted and featuring updated laminate flooring in the living areas and clean carpet in bedrooms, the kitchen is explicitly described as 'original' and visually confirmed to be significantly outdated with 80s/90s style cabinets, tile countertops, white appliances, and dated fluorescent lighting. The bathrooms are also functional but show signs of being outdated with original-style vanities and tile. The home is well-maintained but requires minor updates, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms, to meet current aesthetic and quality standards.
