More Insights

Built in 1986 (40 years old).
Condition: The property was built in 1986, making it 38 years old. While well-maintained with wood flooring, double-pane windows, and central heating, the interior design, particularly the kitchen, is significantly dated. The kitchen features Corian countertops, older-style white cabinets with brass knobs, and dated light fixtures (fluorescent strip lighting). Some appliances appear to be older, though a stainless steel refrigerator and dishwasher are present. The extensive wood paneling on walls and ceilings throughout the living areas and bedrooms, along with the fireplace and light fixtures, reflect an 80s/90s aesthetic that is no longer current. No bathroom images were provided, but it's reasonable to assume they align with the home's overall dated style. The property is functional and appears to be in good repair, but it has not undergone a major renovation in the last 15-30 years, fitting the 'Fair' category where the home is aged but maintained, and major components are functional but show signs of being outdated, requiring minor updates to modernize.
