More Insights
Built in 1956 (70 years old).
Condition: This 1956-built property has undergone significant and relatively recent renovations, making it move-in ready. The kitchen features modern stainless steel appliances, updated wood-toned cabinetry, granite countertops, and a mosaic tile backsplash. Bathrooms are also updated with contemporary vanities, vessel sinks, modern light fixtures, and tiled showers. Flooring is a mix of clean tile, wood-look laminate, and carpet, all appearing in good condition. The outdoor area boasts a newly installed pool, spa, and firepit, along with updated landscaping. While the property is extensively updated and presents well, the original build year of 1956 suggests that some core systems (beyond the visible cosmetic and appliance updates) might be older. Additionally, the description and images indicate mini-split and wall AC units rather than central air conditioning, which is a notable consideration in this climate. These factors prevent an 'Excellent' rating, but the overall condition, recent updates, and 'turnkey' status firmly place it in the 'Good' category.
