More Insights
Built in 1990 (36 years old).
Condition: Built in 1990, the property is well-maintained but shows significant signs of aging in its interior finishes. The kitchen features dated white appliances, laminate countertops, and older cabinets, along with a fluorescent box light, indicating it has not been extensively renovated recently. The bathroom appears to have had an update with tile work, but the style is no longer current. While major systems like central AC/heating are functional and the property is clean, it requires cosmetic updates to meet modern aesthetic standards.
