More Insights
Built in 2000 (26 years old).
Condition: Built in 2000, the property has received several recent updates including new laminate flooring, a new water heater, newer exterior paint, and new Dolomite kitchen counters. However, it is explicitly marketed as a 'cosmetic fixer' and sold 'as-is,' indicating that further minor updates and repairs are needed. While kitchen counters are new, the description doesn't specify updated appliances or cabinets, and Corian counters in the bathrooms suggest these areas may be functional but dated. This aligns with a 'Fair' condition, requiring minor updates to meet current aesthetic standards.
