More Insights
Built in 1986 (39 years old).
Condition: Built in 1986, this property has undergone significant cosmetic updates, making it feel 'like new, light bright fresh and move in ready' as described. The kitchen features modern white cabinets, dark granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances, while the bathrooms boast updated vanities with granite, modern fixtures, and newer flooring. The property benefits from newer laminate and carpet throughout. While the visible elements are in excellent, updated condition, the underlying structure is 38 years old, and there's no explicit mention of recent updates to major systems like HVAC, roof, or plumbing, which prevents an 'Excellent' rating. However, the extensive cosmetic renovations clearly place it above 'Fair' and make it move-in ready.

Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 3.
Age of Property / Potential for Older Systems: Built in 1986, while cosmetic updates are noted, major systems (e.g., HVAC, roof, plumbing, electrical) may be original or nearing end-of-life if not explicitly replaced, potentially requiring future investment.
Lack of Mentioned Cooling System: The description does not specify the presence of a cooling system (e.g., central AC), which could be a significant drawback in Lancaster's hot climate.
Average Lot Size: With a lot size of 5713 sqft, it's fairly standard and may not appeal to buyers seeking extensive outdoor space, despite having a 'large patio and backyard'.
