More Insights
Built in 1990 (36 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1990, has received significant recent cosmetic updates including brand new LVP flooring, fresh interior/exterior paint, new kitchen quartz countertops, and a designer tile backsplash. A new deck is also a plus. However, the kitchen still features original oak cabinets and older black appliances, which are dated. The bathrooms also retain original vanities with tiled countertops and dated light fixtures. While move-in ready due to the recent refreshes, the core elements of the kitchen and bathrooms show signs of being outdated and would require further updates to meet modern standards. The potential for older core systems (HVAC, plumbing, electrical) also aligns with a 'Fair' condition.
