More Insights

Built in 1977 (48 years old).
Condition: Built in 1977, this property has undergone significant cosmetic upgrades, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms, which appear clean and functional with good quality materials like stone countertops, stainless steel appliances, and travertine flooring. However, the style of these upgrades, such as the kitchen backsplash and primary bedroom ceiling fan, suggests they were likely completed 10-15 years ago, rather than recently. A major factor contributing to a 'Fair' score is the absence of central air conditioning, a significant comfort system for a home of this size and location, indicating a need for substantial system updates to meet modern expectations. While well-maintained and move-in ready, the age of the underlying structure and the missing key amenity prevent it from achieving a 'Good' rating.
