More Insights

Built in 1981 (45 years old).
Condition: Built in 1981, this property has undergone significant and high-quality renovations, particularly in the primary bathroom which appears recently remodeled to an excellent standard. The kitchen features sleek cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and hardwood floors, indicating a substantial update within the last 5-15 years. While the secondary bathroom shows signs of being older in style (though functional and clean), and the absence of central air conditioning is a notable drawback, the overall condition is move-in ready with well-maintained systems and modern aesthetics in key areas. The extensive updates and high-end finishes like Canadian black walnut floors and solar panels elevate its condition beyond 'Fair'.
