More Insights

Built in 1992 (33 years old).
Condition: This property, built in 1992, presents as move-in ready due to significant recent cosmetic updates. The kitchen features new white painted cabinets, modern countertops, and stainless steel appliances, giving it a fresh and contemporary look. The master bathroom is also described as 'new' with dual sinks and a tub/shower, indicating a recent renovation. New laminate flooring and fresh paint in the main living areas further enhance its appeal. However, some secondary bedrooms still have older, worn carpet, and the furnace and water heater visible in the garage appear to be older models, likely nearing the end of their expected lifespan. While these major systems are functional, they may require future replacement. The property has not undergone a full, extensive renovation, but the key areas (kitchen, master bath, main flooring) are well-updated, aligning with a 'Good' condition score.
