More Insights
Built in 1985 (41 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1985, is well-maintained and described as 'move-in ready' with fresh paint and updated flooring (hardwood/laminate in living areas, newer carpet in bedrooms). The kitchen features updated light gray cabinets, granite countertops, and recessed lighting, which are positive updates. However, the white appliances are not contemporary, and both bathrooms, while clean and functional, have older-style vanities and fixtures that appear outdated. This mix of recent cosmetic updates with less modern kitchen appliances and outdated bathrooms, combined with the property's age, places it in the 'Fair' category, indicating it's maintained but shows signs of being outdated in key areas.
