More Insights
Built in 1988 (37 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1988, is 36 years old. While the listing mentions 'brand-new laminate flooring' and 'beautifully updated,' the kitchen and bathrooms show a mix of updates and dated elements. The kitchen features newer stainless steel appliances (except for the electric range) and black granite countertops, but the light wood cabinets and the fluorescent strip lighting are notably outdated. Similarly, the bathrooms have clean, functional fixtures and black granite, but the cabinet style is dated. The new laminate flooring is a positive, but the overall aesthetic in key areas suggests the last extensive renovation was likely more than 15 years ago, with more recent cosmetic touch-ups. It is move-in ready and well-maintained, but the style of the kitchen and bathrooms indicates it falls into the 'fair' category, requiring minor updates to meet current aesthetic standards.
