More Insights

Built in 1969 (57 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1969, the property has undergone significant and recent updates. The kitchen features modern stainless steel appliances, stylish light green shaker cabinets, and contemporary countertops, indicating a recent renovation. One bathroom is extensively updated with a modern vanity, fixtures, and a walk-in shower with new tiling. The second bathroom is also updated, though with a slightly more traditional style (darker vanity, checkerboard floor tile) suggesting an update within the last 15-20 years, but it remains clean and functional. Beautiful wood floors are present throughout the main living areas and bedrooms, appearing well-maintained. The exterior, including the pool and deck, is in good condition. While the property's age suggests potential for older underlying systems, the visible areas are move-in ready with no immediate renovations required, aligning well with a 'Good' condition score.
