More Insights
Built in 1991 (35 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1991, is very clean and well-maintained with fresh paint and newer carpet throughout the living areas and bedroom. However, the kitchen features dated white appliances (except for a newer stainless steel microwave), older white cabinets with dated hardware, granite countertops, and a very dated fluorescent light panel. Both bathrooms also show significant signs of being outdated with brass fixtures, older tile choices, and vanity styles from the original construction or an older renovation. While functional and move-in ready, these key areas would require cosmetic updates to meet current aesthetic standards.
