More Insights

Built in 1993 (32 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1993, benefits from extensive recent upgrades including newer A/C, furnace, water heater, water softener, solar, new carpet, marble floors, and fresh paint, making it move-in ready. Major systems are functional and within their expected lifespan. However, the kitchen and bathrooms, while clean and well-maintained, feature dated medium oak cabinetry, older style countertops, and fixtures, which prevent an 'Excellent' rating as they do not meet current aesthetic quality standards.
