Built in 2000 (26 years old).
Condition: Built in 2000, this property is well-maintained and move-in ready. However, the kitchen features original-style wood cabinets and granite countertops that, while functional, are stylistically dated. The primary bathroom's soaking tub surround and shower tile also reflect an early 2000s aesthetic. While the guest bathroom appears to have more recent updates, the overall property, particularly the kitchen and primary bath, shows signs of being aged stylistically, aligning with the 'Fair' category's criteria for functional but outdated components.

Multi-Level Layout with Top-Floor Entry: The unique entry on the third (top) floor and the multi-level design, while contributing to the open feel, may present accessibility challenges or be less desirable for buyers preferring single-level living or ground-floor entry.
