More Insights

Built in 1989 (36 years old).
Condition: This property, built in 1989, has undergone significant upgrades, particularly in the kitchen, which features new stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and well-maintained pecan cabinets, aligning with a renovation within the last 5-15 years. The living areas boast high cathedral ceilings, recessed lighting, and light wood flooring in good condition. While the bathrooms are clean and fully functional, their vanity styles, mirrors, and light fixtures appear to be from an earlier renovation (likely 15-20 years ago) rather than a very recent one. However, the property is clearly move-in ready with no immediate renovations required, and major systems appear well-maintained, fitting the 'Good' category.
