More Insights
Built in 2001 (24 years old).
Condition: Built in 2001, this property is 23 years old, placing it slightly outside the 'Good' category based solely on age. However, the images and description clearly indicate significant and recent updates, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms. The gourmet kitchen features premium, modern stainless steel appliances, contemporary two-tone cabinetry, and stylish countertops and backsplash. The bathrooms also appear updated with modern vanities and fixtures. The flooring (hardwood and large format tile) is in excellent condition, and the overall interior is bright, clean, and move-in ready. While the listing notes an 'opportunity to make it your own' and mentions the age of core systems as a potential weakness, the visible areas are well-maintained and aesthetically pleasing, suggesting extensive renovations within the last 5-15 years. This aligns with the 'Good' criteria of being move-in ready with well-maintained systems and updated components, even if not a full recent renovation.
