More Insights
Built in 1987 (38 years old).
Condition: Built in 1987, this property is well-maintained but shows signs of dated style in key areas. The kitchen features granite countertops, white cabinets, and a mix of appliance finishes (white refrigerator, black electric range, stainless dishwasher), suggesting updates that are likely 15-20 years old rather than recent. Bathrooms also have similar granite countertops, white vanities, and basic fixtures, appearing functional but not modern. While the laminate wood flooring throughout the living areas and bedrooms is a positive update, the overall aesthetic and lack of central air conditioning (a window unit is visible) indicate that while move-in ready, it would benefit from minor updates to meet current buyer expectations for style and comfort.
