More Insights

Built in 1985 (40 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1985, presents a mix of recently updated and well-maintained original features. The kitchen appears to have undergone a significant, high-quality renovation with modern white shaker cabinets, light countertops, high-end stainless steel appliances (Wolf range), and light wood flooring, placing it in excellent condition. The main living and dining areas also feature updated hardwood flooring, neutral paint, and modern light fixtures, suggesting recent improvements. However, some areas like the secondary bedrooms, office, and laundry room show their age with older carpeting, dated wall colors/wallpaper, and less contemporary fixtures. The description notes 'new exterior siding underway' and that it's a 'move-in ready retreat or the foundation for a fresh new vision,' which aligns with a property that has seen substantial updates in key areas but still offers potential for further personalization in others. Overall, the property is move-in ready with major systems likely functional and well-maintained, fitting the 'good' category.
