More Insights

Built in 2005 (21 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 2005, is 19-20 years old, fitting the 'Good' category's age range. The listing highlights 'recent upgrades' including new AC, new lighting, and updated appliances, which are visible in the modern stainless steel kitchen appliances. The beautiful wood flooring throughout is a strong positive. While the kitchen cabinetry and granite countertops, and the primary bathroom's tile and light fixture, appear well-maintained, their style is not 'virtually new' or extensively renovated within the last 5 years to qualify for 'Excellent'. However, the home is clearly move-in ready with no immediate renovations required, and major systems like AC are new, indicating a well-maintained property with significant recent updates.
