More Insights
Built in 1991 (35 years old).
Condition: Built in 1991, the property is well-maintained and move-in ready, but the kitchen features dated light wood cabinets, white appliances, and a traditional layout. The bathroom also shows signs of being outdated with its vanity style and shower enclosure. While functional and clean, these key areas would benefit from cosmetic updates to meet current aesthetic standards.
