More Insights

Built in 1998 (28 years old).
Condition: Built in 1998, this home is well-maintained and move-in ready with fresh paint and good hardwood flooring in main living areas. However, the kitchen features dated tile countertops and traditional wood cabinets, despite having updated stainless steel appliances. Bathrooms also show signs of being outdated with tile countertops, older cabinet styles, and carpet in the primary bathroom. While functional, these elements indicate the property would benefit from minor updates to align with current styles and preferences.
