More Insights

Built in 1993 (33 years old).
Condition: The property was built in 1993, making it over 30 years old. While generally well-maintained with hardwood floors throughout and double-pane windows, the kitchen and bathrooms show clear signs of being outdated. The kitchen features light wood cabinets, laminate countertops, and a mix of appliance finishes (some stainless, some black), along with track lighting. The bathrooms have similar light wood vanities, basic countertops, and standard tub/shower combos with older light fixtures. These elements suggest that these key areas have not undergone a major renovation in the last 15-20 years, aligning with the 'Fair' category where major components are functional but show signs of being outdated.
