More Insights
Built in 1982 (44 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1982, is well-maintained and retains its classic Spanish architectural charm. However, the kitchen features distinctly outdated elements such as patterned tile countertops and backsplash, and the bathrooms, while clean, also appear dated. While functional and in good condition, these areas would require significant cosmetic updates to meet contemporary luxury standards. The overall condition suggests regular upkeep but no extensive modern renovation within the last 15-30 years, aligning with a 'Fair' rating.
