More Insights

Built in 1986 (40 years old).
Condition: This property, built in 1986, has undergone significant recent renovations, particularly in the bathrooms which feature modern vanities, freestanding tubs, and walk-in showers, appearing virtually new. The kitchen has updated stainless steel appliances and a modern subway tile backsplash, though the honey oak cabinets are an older style. New flooring (LVP/engineered wood and carpet) and fresh paint throughout contribute to a move-in ready condition. While the overall age of the house (38 years) and the potential for original major systems (like HVAC, which is not mentioned) prevent an 'Excellent' rating, the extensive and high-quality cosmetic updates in key areas elevate it beyond 'Fair'.
