More Insights
Built in 1998 (27 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1998 (26 years ago), is exceptionally well-maintained and move-in ready. However, while some areas like one of the bathrooms appear to have more recent updates, the main kitchen features dark speckled granite countertops and backsplash, which are characteristic of the late 1990s/early 2000s and appear outdated by current standards. Other elements like the wooden archways and some light fixtures also suggest an older aesthetic. The home is functional and comfortable, but key areas show signs of being outdated, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria for properties built over 20 years ago with renovations between 15-30 years ago, or no major renovations since construction.
