More Insights
Built in 1987 (38 years old).
Condition: The property was built in 1987, making it 37 years old. While it features some updates like granite countertops, white cabinetry, laminate flooring, and recessed lighting in the kitchen, these appear to be cosmetic refreshes rather than a comprehensive, recent renovation. The kitchen appliances are a mix of older white units (stove, refrigerator) and newer stainless steel (microwave, dishwasher), indicating piecemeal updates. The bathrooms are not explicitly described as updated, and the overall aesthetic, including window styles and closet doors, suggests an older property that has been maintained but not fully modernized. It is move-in ready but shows signs of being outdated and would benefit from further updates to meet current quality standards.
