More Insights

Built in 1987 (39 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1987, has undergone significant and recent upgrades to major systems, including new windows and sliders (3 years old), PEX repiping (2015), newer HVAC (2013), and a water softener (2 years old). These updates fall well within the 'extensively renovated within 5 to 15 years' criteria for a 'Good' rating.

While the overall style of the cabinetry and some tile flooring is more traditional than cutting-edge modern, the home is move-in ready with no immediate renovations required, and all visible components are in good, functional condition with minimal wear and tear.
