More Insights

Built in 1976 (50 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1976, this property has undergone extensive and recent renovations, qualifying it for an 'Excellent' score. The description highlights a 'beautifully updated residence' with a 'spacious open-concept layout' featuring crown molding, recessed lighting, smooth ceilings, and laminate wood flooring. The kitchen is 'upgraded' with custom cabinetry, granite countertops, a full-height tile backsplash, tray ceiling with crown lighting, and stainless-steel appliances, all appearing modern and virtually new in the images. The primary bathroom has been 'tastefully remodeled' with an oversized tiled walk-in shower and seating, and the guest half-bath is also refined. Crucially, 'all windows and the sliding door are brand new,' and there's modern lighting throughout. The overall aesthetic is fresh, contemporary, and shows no signs of deferred maintenance, making it truly move-in ready to current quality standards.
