More Insights

Built in 1994 (31 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1994, presents a mix of recently updated and original features. The kitchen is a standout, having undergone an extensive, high-quality renovation with modern quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, and updated fixtures, placing it in excellent condition. The main living areas also feature updated hardwood floors, neutral paint, and plantation shutters, contributing to a move-in ready aesthetic. However, the primary bathroom, while functional and clean, appears largely original or renovated 15-30 years ago, with dated light wood cabinetry, traditional fixtures, and tile. A significant weakness noted is the 'Absence of Central Cooling System,' which is a major functional deficiency for a home of this age and location, requiring a substantial investment to address. Despite this, the extensive kitchen renovation and overall well-maintained condition of the majority of the home elevate it beyond 'Fair,' aligning it with 'Good' where some components are updated, but a full recent renovation has not occurred, and some major systems or areas may require attention.
