More Insights
Built in 1986 (39 years old).
Condition: Built in 1986, this property is well-maintained but shows significant signs of its age in key areas. The kitchen features dated oak cabinetry, small square tiled countertops, and older appliances, while the primary bathroom also has matching tiled countertops, oak vanity, and gold-toned fixtures. The lighting in these areas (fluorescent panels) is also outdated. While the home is clean and functional, these critical spaces would require substantial renovation to meet current aesthetic and quality standards, aligning with the 'fair' category's description of requiring minor updates or repairs, and major components showing signs of being outdated.

Top-Rated Schools: Benefits from access to top-rated public and private schools, a significant advantage for families and a strong factor for property value.

Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 2433, other record living area = 2378.
Property Age & Potential System Updates: Built in 1986, the property is nearly 40 years old. While described as lovely, the absence of explicit mention of comprehensive updates to major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, roof) suggests some components may be original or nearing end-of-life, potentially requiring future investment.
Potential for Dated Aesthetics: Despite being described as 'light and bright,' a 1986 build, if not fully renovated throughout, may feature some architectural or design elements that could be considered dated by modern buyers, potentially necessitating cosmetic upgrades.
Limited Specifics on Outdoor Living Features: While the backyard is noted as 'inviting' and 'nicely landscaped,' the description lacks specific details about extensive outdoor living amenities (e.g., large patio, built-in BBQ, fire pit, pool) that buyers at this price point might expect for enhanced entertainment or relaxation.
