More Insights
Built in 1993 (33 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1993, is clean and well-maintained with updated paint and flooring (tile downstairs, wood-look upstairs). However, the kitchen features dated white tile countertops, matching white appliances, and an old fluorescent light fixture. The bathrooms also show dated vanities, cultured marble countertops, and Hollywood strip lighting. While functional and move-in ready, these key areas require minor to moderate updates to align with current styles and preferences, fitting the 'Fair' category criteria of being aged but maintained, with major components showing signs of being outdated.
