More Insights
Built in 1982 (44 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1982, is well-maintained and move-in ready with good hardwood floors and fresh paint. However, the 'updated kitchen' features dated light wood cabinets, a fluorescent panel ceiling light, and a mix of older appliances (white refrigerator, black electric range/dishwasher). The bathrooms are also significantly outdated with small square tiles, older vanities, and light fixtures. Popcorn ceilings are present throughout. While functional, these areas require substantial aesthetic updates to modernize the home.
