More Insights

Built in 1988 (38 years old).
Condition: Built in 1988, this property is 36 years old. While it features updated stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, modern paint colors, and some updated bathroom fixtures like walk-in showers and vanities, the kitchen cabinets retain a traditional, dated style. The extensive use of carpeting in living areas and bedrooms, and some older bathroom elements (e.g., large wall mirrors with strip lighting), prevent it from reaching a 'Good' rating. It is well-maintained and functional, but shows signs of being aged with components that are outdated despite occasional updates.
