More Insights

Built in 1993 (33 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1993, is well-maintained with significant recent functional updates including a new A/C (2021), water heater (2019), 2024 refrigerator, 2018 kitchen appliances, and a 2023 pool resurfacing. However, the kitchen features dated tile countertops and cabinet styles, and the bathrooms also show outdated fixtures, tile, and lighting, with carpeted flooring in the primary bath. While all major systems are functional and updated, the aesthetic of these key areas is outdated, suggesting a need for cosmetic renovations to meet current styles, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
