More Insights
Built in 1990 (35 years old).
Condition: Built in 1990, this luxurious Mediterranean estate is impeccably maintained with high-quality materials throughout. The kitchen features high-end stainless steel appliances, but the light wood cabinetry and dark granite countertops, while in excellent condition, reflect a style from 15-25 years ago rather than a recent renovation. Similarly, the numerous bathrooms are clean and functional with dark wood vanities and light stone countertops, but their overall aesthetic is traditional and dated compared to current trends. The extensive use of large stone tiles and patterned carpeting is well-preserved but also contributes to an older style. While the property is move-in ready and requires no immediate repairs, the kitchen and bathrooms would likely require significant cosmetic updates to meet contemporary design preferences, aligning it with the 'Fair' category where major components are functional but show signs of being outdated.
