More Insights

Built in 1987 (39 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1987, has seen some updates such as new AC units in 2022 and modern stainless steel kitchen appliances. The living area features an open concept with recessed lighting and skylights, contributing to a bright atmosphere. However, the kitchen cabinets and granite countertops appear somewhat dated, and the bathrooms, particularly with their gold-framed showers/tubs, mirrored ceilings, and tile countertops, are significantly outdated in style. While well-maintained and move-in ready, these aesthetic elements would likely require minor to moderate updates for a contemporary feel, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
