More Insights
Built in 1979 (46 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1979, is well-maintained and move-in ready, but its kitchen and bathroom renovations appear to be 15-25 years old based on their style (e.g., light wood flat-panel cabinets, specific backsplash, and bathroom vanity styles). While functional and clean, these elements, along with the visible baseboard heating, show signs of being outdated compared to current trends. This aligns with the 'Fair' criteria of being an aged home maintained through regular upkeep and occasional updates, where major components are functional but show signs of being outdated.
