More Insights

Built in 2000 (26 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 2000, is well-maintained with recent updates like a new HVAC system (2022), fresh paint, and new carpet. However, the kitchen features Corian countertops, painted raised-panel maple cabinetry, and older-style black/paneled appliances, which are functional but aesthetically outdated. Similarly, the bathrooms have natural maple cabinetry, cultured marble surfaces, and dated shower enclosures and light fixtures. While move-in ready, these key areas require cosmetic updates to meet current quality standards, aligning with the 'fair' criteria of being aged but maintained, with major components showing signs of being outdated.
