More Insights
Built in 1991 (35 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1991, is well-maintained and clean, but the kitchen and bathrooms show significant signs of being outdated. The kitchen features light wood cabinets, speckled granite countertops, and a mix of older and newer appliances (e.g., older range/microwave, newer refrigerator), along with dated fluorescent lighting. The main bathroom has gold-toned fixtures, 1990s-style tiles, and dated vanity lighting. While functional and move-in ready, these areas would benefit from minor updates to meet current aesthetic standards, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria for a home built over 20 years ago with no major renovations since construction or renovations 15-30 years ago.
