More Insights

Built in 1997 (28 years old).
Condition: This property, built in 1997, is 27 years old, placing it outside the 'Excellent' category. However, it boasts significant recent updates that elevate it beyond 'Fair'. A new HVAC system was installed in 2022, along with a newer hot water tank, new carpet and pads, and a new disposal. These are crucial functional updates that ensure major systems are well-maintained and within their expected lifespan, making the home truly move-in ready with no immediate renovation required for functionality. While the kitchen features original-style light oak cabinets and Corian countertops, and the bathrooms have dated fixtures and glass block, they are clean, functional, and well-maintained. The aesthetic is dated, but the core components and major systems are in good condition or recently replaced, aligning with the 'Good' criteria of being move-in ready with well-maintained systems and some significant updates, even if not a full cosmetic renovation.
