Condition Rating
Fair

Built in 1995, this custom estate is impeccably maintained and features high-quality materials from its era. The kitchen boasts high-end appliances and vast granite countertops, but the dark granite and traditional white cabinetry, along with the pendant lighting, reflect a style that is approximately 15-25 years old. Similarly, the primary bathroom, while spacious and functional with dual sinks, a large soaking tub, and oversized shower, features a tile pattern and corner tub design that are characteristic of the 1990s/early 2000s. While move-in ready and in excellent physical condition, the aesthetic of key areas like the kitchen and bathrooms, along with some carpeted areas and traditional light fixtures, show signs of being outdated by current design standards, aligning with the 'Fair' category's description of a home built over 20 years ago with components showing signs of being outdated, requiring minor updates for a contemporary feel.
