More Insights
This property has been on the market for 261 days.
Built in 1971 (54 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1971, the property shows clear signs of extensive and recent renovations in the visible areas. The exterior is well-maintained, and the interior spaces (living rooms, bedrooms, office) feature modern finishes such as light paint, recessed lighting, skylights, and well-kept hardwood and carpet flooring. These updates suggest the property is move-in ready with no immediate renovation required, aligning with the 'Good' criteria for a property extensively renovated within the last 5-15 years. However, the absence of images for the kitchen and bathrooms prevents a higher score, as their condition and style are crucial for a complete assessment. Assuming these key areas are at least functional and presentable, the overall quality of the visible updates supports a 'Good' rating.
