Built in 1992 (33 years old).
Condition: The property was built in 1992, making it 32 years old. While the home appears well-maintained, the interior, particularly the kitchen, shows signs of being outdated in style. The kitchen features traditional wood cabinets, white solid-surface countertops, and wood-paneled ceilings, which are not current trends, although the stainless steel appliances appear to be a more recent update. Flooring is a mix of well-kept wood and older carpet. Without bathroom images, it's inferred they likely follow a similar dated aesthetic. The property is functional and has been regularly maintained, but it requires minor updates to bring it to a more contemporary standard, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria.
