More Insights
Built in 1989 (36 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1989, has undergone significant updates, particularly in the kitchen, which features modern two-tone cabinetry, white countertops, and a subway tile backsplash, appearing to be renovated within the last 5-15 years. The flooring throughout the main living areas and bedrooms also appears to be newer, light-toned wood-look material, contributing to a fresh aesthetic. While the primary bathroom is clean and functional with a soaking tub and stall shower, its brass-framed shower enclosure and older-style tile work suggest it has not been updated to the same modern standard as the kitchen, likely falling into the 15-30 year renovation timeframe or being original and well-maintained. Despite the primary bathroom showing signs of being outdated in style, the overall property is move-in ready with well-maintained systems and no immediate renovation required, aligning with the 'Good' condition criteria.
