More Insights

Built in 1986 (39 years old).
Condition: Built in 1986, this property is well-maintained with upgraded cherry hardwood and travertine flooring, and a newly refinished primary shower. However, the visible secondary bathroom features dated elements like a fluorescent light box and older tile. The absence of kitchen images suggests it may not have undergone a recent, comprehensive renovation, likely showing signs of being outdated. While move-in ready, it would benefit from minor updates to the kitchen and bathrooms to meet current aesthetic standards.
