More Insights
Built in 1985 (40 years old).
Condition: Built in 1985, this townhome is well-maintained but shows its age through outdated interior finishes. The kitchen features original-style wood cabinets, older countertops, and a dated fluorescent light fixture, though some appliances appear newer. The half-bathroom also has an older wood vanity and light fixture. While functional and clean, the property requires significant cosmetic updates to the kitchen and bathrooms to meet current aesthetic standards and buyer preferences, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria for a property built over 20 years ago with no major recent renovations.
