Built in 1984 (42 years old).
Condition: Built in 1984, the property is 40 years old. While it features updated flooring throughout and fresh paint, the kitchen retains its original or older-style wood cabinets, laminate countertops, and dated fluorescent lighting. Appliances are a mix of black and stainless steel, indicating piecemeal replacements rather than a full modern suite. Bathrooms also show dated vanities and fixtures, despite some cosmetic updates. The lack of a modern cooling system is a significant functional drawback. The home is well-maintained but shows its age and would benefit from substantial updates to the kitchen and bathrooms to meet current standards.
