Property is move-in ready.
Built in 1997, this property is 27 years old, but it presents as move-in ready with several key updates. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances and what appear to be recently painted gray cabinets, along with a functional island and ample counter space. The wood-look tile flooring throughout the main living areas and bedrooms is a significant and appealing update. While the bathrooms are clean and functional, their vanities and some fixtures appear to be older, suggesting they haven't undergone a full modern renovation. Overall, the home is well-maintained with good updates in critical areas, aligning with the 'Good' criteria of being move-in ready with some updated components, but not a full recent renovation.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 8276, living area = 1888.
