More Insights

Built in 1990 (35 years old).
Condition: Built in 1990, this property is functional but significantly outdated in its interior design and finishes. The kitchen features dated light wood cabinetry, tiled countertops, and an older built-in oven/microwave, requiring a full renovation. Bathrooms also show dated light wood vanities, older fixtures, and in one case, very dated wallpaper. While the home appears well-maintained, the description explicitly states it's 'ready for a fresh vision and personal touch,' indicating a need for substantial cosmetic updates to meet current market expectations. The flooring (mix of worn carpet and dated tile) and some light fixtures also contribute to an aged aesthetic. Major systems appear functional, but the overall style is from an earlier era, fitting the 'fair' category.
