Built in 1989 (37 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1989, is 35 years old. While impeccably maintained and featuring high-end appliances in the kitchen, the overall style of the kitchen (cabinetry, granite, terracotta flooring) and especially the bathrooms (dated marble, gold fixtures, and carpeted floors in some) indicates that major renovations, if any, occurred 15-30+ years ago. The home is functional and move-in ready, but key areas like the kitchen and bathrooms show signs of being outdated and would likely require significant cosmetic updates to meet current luxury standards expected for a property at this price point.
