More Insights

Built in 1986 (40 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1986, is well-maintained and appears move-in ready, but the kitchen and bathrooms show significant signs of being outdated. The kitchen features tiled countertops and backsplash, and older cabinet styles, while the bathrooms have dated tile work and vanity designs, suggesting renovations that occurred 15-30 years ago rather than recently. While functional, these areas would require substantial aesthetic updates to meet current quality standards. The carpet also shows some wear. Overall, the home is aged but maintained, fitting the 'fair' criteria.
