More Insights

Built in 1992 (34 years old).
Condition: Built in 1992, this property falls within the 25-40 year age range without a major recent renovation. While the estate boasts quality construction, timeless architectural features like massive wooden beams and stone fireplaces, and appears well-maintained, the kitchen and bathrooms show signs of being outdated. Specifically, the kitchen features tile countertops and light wood cabinetry that are characteristic of its build era, and the bathrooms also have tile countertops and a dated aesthetic. While appliances appear functional and high-end for their time, and the property benefits from modern additions like solar and private wells, the interior styling of key areas would likely require minor updates to meet current buyer preferences for a contemporary look.
