More Insights

Built in 1980 (45 years old).
Condition: This 1980-built townhome has undergone significant and recent updates, including a new roof, new fireplace, and refreshed primary bathroom with a reglazed tub. The main living areas feature modern wood-look laminate flooring and neutral paint, contributing to a move-in ready feel. The kitchen has updated white cabinets, a subway tile backsplash, and newer black appliances, but the white tile countertops and tile flooring are dated and prevent it from reaching an 'Excellent' score. The bathrooms appear clean and functional, with the half-bath showing modern vanity and fixtures. Overall, the property is well-maintained and largely updated, requiring no immediate renovations, aligning with a 'Good' condition score despite the age of the original structure and some dated kitchen elements.
