More Insights
Built in 2000 (25 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 2000, is 24 years old, but the description highlights it as 'beautifully maintained' and 'ready to move-in.' The images confirm this, showing a clean and updated interior. The kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances (dishwasher, range/oven, microwave), pendant lighting, and well-maintained light wood cabinetry, which aligns with a 'modern kitchen' description. The bathrooms also feature matching granite countertops and updated vanities, with both shower/tub combos and a separate shower/tub in the primary bath, all appearing clean and functional. Hardwood floors in the main living areas and recessed lighting throughout contribute to a contemporary and well-kept aesthetic. While not a brand-new renovation, the updates and overall condition mean no immediate renovations are required, fitting the 'Good' criteria for a move-in ready home with well-maintained systems and updated components.
