More Insights

Built in 1985 (41 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1985, presents a clean and well-maintained interior with updated flooring and paint in the main living areas, and modern stainless steel appliances in the kitchen. However, the kitchen features dated tile countertops and flooring, and both bathrooms exhibit outdated fixtures, countertops (likely cultured marble or solid surface), and lighting. While functional, these key areas would require minor to moderate updates to meet contemporary aesthetic standards, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
