More Insights
Built in 1990 (35 years old).
Condition: This home, built in 1990, has undergone extensive and high-quality renovations, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms, which appear modern and move-in ready. The kitchen features contemporary light wood cabinetry, white quartz countertops, subway tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. Bathrooms are fully remodeled with modern vanities, fixtures, and wood-look tile flooring. Other significant upgrades include owned solar, an upgraded electrical panel, and new casement windows. While the property is impeccably maintained and beautifully updated, the absence of central air conditioning (only a whole-house fan is mentioned) and the original build year of 1990 for underlying systems prevent it from reaching an 'Excellent' score. However, it perfectly fits the 'Good' criteria as it's move-in ready with no immediate renovations required, and major systems are functional and updated.
