More Insights

Built in 1989 (37 years old).
Condition: Built in 1989, this home is well-maintained and has received some upgrades, such as granite countertops in the kitchen and bathrooms, recessed lighting in the kitchen, and luxury laminate wood flooring in the family room. However, the kitchen features dated light wood cabinets and white appliances, and some bathroom fixtures and tile choices also appear to be from an older renovation (likely 15-25 years ago). The property's age (35 years) and the potential for major systems to be nearing the end of their lifespan, as noted in the analysis, align with the 'Fair' category, indicating it is aged but maintained, with functional components that show signs of being outdated and may require minor updates.
