More Insights

Built in 2010 (15 years old).
Condition: Despite being relatively new construction (main house 2010, guest house 2014), the property is explicitly described as a 'blank canvas' for the main house and needing 'finishing touches' for the guest house. Images show exposed framing, indicating unfinished interiors. This means essential living spaces like kitchens and bathrooms are not complete or functional, requiring substantial investment and rehabilitation to make the property habitable and comfortable. While the structures are modern and sound, the current state of incompleteness renders the property's condition 'poor' for immediate occupancy.
