More Insights
Built in 2005 (20 years old).
Condition: Built in 2005, this property is 20 years old and appears well-maintained overall with neutral paint and clean flooring in living areas and bedrooms. However, the kitchen features traditional wood cabinets, tile countertops, and older white appliances, which are functional but dated. Similarly, the bathrooms have traditional vanities and tile, indicating they have not been extensively renovated to modern standards. While move-in ready, the kitchen and bathrooms would likely require updates to meet contemporary buyer expectations, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
