More Insights
Built in 1986 (39 years old).
Condition: Built in 1986, this property has received some good updates such as newer laminate flooring, double-paned windows, and an HVAC system. The kitchen features updated quartz countertops and painted cabinets, but some appliances (white electric range, refrigerator) appear older, and the sink is dated. The bathrooms are significantly outdated with original or very old vanities, countertops, and light fixtures, requiring substantial aesthetic updates. Popcorn ceilings are also present. While well-maintained and functional, the property shows its age in key areas, particularly the bathrooms, indicating it requires minor updates to meet current standards.
