More Insights

Built in 2002 (23 years old).
Condition: Built in 2002, this custom home is exceptionally well-maintained and move-in ready. The kitchen features white cabinetry, wood countertops, and stainless steel appliances, all in good, functional condition, though the terra cotta-style tile flooring reflects its original build era rather than a recent modern update. Bathrooms are similarly clean and well-kept with white vanities and standard fixtures. While the aesthetic is consistent with early 2000s design and not newly renovated, there are no signs of significant wear, damage, or deferred maintenance. The property's systems appear functional, and the overall condition suggests a home that has been cared for diligently, requiring no immediate renovations.
