More Insights
Built in 1978 (47 years old).
Condition: Built in 1978, this home has undergone significant and recent upgrades, particularly evident in the kitchen which features modern white cabinetry, high-end stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, a stylish farmhouse sink, and dark hardwood flooring, all appearing to be in excellent, virtually new condition. The bathrooms are also updated, clean, and well-maintained with tiled showers/tubs and glass enclosures, though their style might be slightly less contemporary than the kitchen, suggesting they were renovated perhaps 10-15 years ago. The property boasts modern flooring (hardwood and clean carpet) and plantation shutters throughout. While the kitchen is 'excellent,' the overall property, being a 1978 build with some components updated more recently than others, fits the 'Good' category as it is move-in ready with no immediate renovations required, and major systems appear functional and well-maintained.
