More Insights

Built in 1983 (42 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1983, is well-maintained with functional major systems like HVAC and water heater. While some updates are present, such as newer vinyl plank flooring in the kitchen and bathrooms, and stainless steel kitchen appliances, the overall aesthetic of the kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities (e.g., light blue cabinets, gold-trimmed mirrored closets, strip lighting), and the blue carpet in the living area are significantly dated. These elements indicate the property has not undergone a full, recent renovation and would benefit from cosmetic updates to align with current styles.
