More Insights
Built in 1999 (26 years old).
Condition: Built in 1999, this home is 25 years old, but the listing explicitly states it's 'beautifully maintained' and features 'newer appliances, granite countertops, and updated flooring that flows throughout the home.' The primary bathroom is also described as 'updated.' Images confirm the updated laminate wood flooring, stainless steel kitchen appliances, and granite countertops, presenting a clean and move-in ready condition. While the kitchen cabinets are a traditional wood style, they are well-maintained and complement the granite. The overall condition, recent updates, and lack of visible wear and tear align well with the 'Good' criteria, indicating a property that is functional, well-maintained, and requires no immediate renovations, even if not a brand-new build or a full, recent high-end renovation.
