More Insights

Built in 2000 (26 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 2000, is 24 years old. While it is well-maintained and move-in ready, the kitchen features maple cabinetry and speckled granite countertops, and the bathrooms have similar finishes, which are functional but stylistically dated. The extensive neutral tile flooring also reflects an older aesthetic. The description mentions 'updated appliances,' but the overall style suggests these updates, if not original, were likely done 15-20 years ago. Major systems may be nearing the end of their lifespan, as noted in the property analysis. It requires minor cosmetic updates to align with current design trends.
