More Insights

Built in 1995 (31 years old).
Condition: This 1995-built home benefits from recent updates, including an 'updated kitchen' with granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and modern backsplash, along with 'new flooring and fresh paint' throughout the main living areas. The property is move-in ready and features significant energy-efficient upgrades like 12 solar panels, double-pane windows, and a tankless water heater. While the full bathroom is clean and functional, its vanity, lighting, and flooring appear slightly less modern than the kitchen, preventing an 'Excellent' rating. Overall, the property is well-maintained with minimal wear and tear, aligning with a 'Good' condition score.
