Built in 1989 (37 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1989, is exceptionally well-maintained and boasts a grand Mediterranean style. However, while the kitchen features updated stainless steel appliances, its overall aesthetic with granite countertops and terracotta flooring, along with the significantly dated bathrooms (pinkish marble, gold-toned fixtures, and carpet in one), indicates that these key areas require substantial cosmetic updates to meet contemporary luxury standards. The home is aged but maintained, with functional major components that show signs of being outdated.
