More Insights

Built in 1973 (52 years old).
Condition: The property, originally built in 1973, benefits from a significant 'refresh' in 2025 and a prior renovation in 2004, making it move-in ready. The new wood laminate flooring and updated bathroom (with a jetted tub and clean tile work) contribute to a positive impression. While the kitchen cabinetry appears to be from an earlier renovation (likely 2004) and features laminate countertops, it is clean and functional. The light fixtures are basic but functional. Overall, the home shows minimal wear and tear and is well-maintained, aligning with the 'Good' score criteria for a recently updated property that hasn't undergone a full, high-end renovation of every component.
