More Insights

Built in 1984 (42 years old).
Condition: Built in 1984, this home has undergone extensive and recent renovations, including a new steel roof, freshly painted interior (June 2025) and exterior (September 2023), Milgard dual-pane windows, and a remodeled kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. Smart home features like an Ecobee thermostat, smart garage opener, smart lock, Ring system, and an EV charger further enhance its modern functionality. While the bathrooms are clean and well-maintained, their style suggests an earlier update, preventing an 'Excellent' rating. However, the significant and recent upgrades to major components and aesthetics ensure the property is move-in ready with no immediate renovations required, aligning with a 'Good' condition score.
