Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1989, is 35 years old. While the description mentions a 'newly remodeled kitchen with beautiful granite countertops,' the images reveal dated wood cabinets and tile flooring in the kitchen, suggesting a partial or older remodel rather than a recent, comprehensive one. The bathroom is significantly outdated with an older vanity, integrated sink, and a gold-framed shower enclosure. Other areas of the home appear well-maintained with updated laminate flooring in the living room and modern ceiling fans, but the overall aesthetic and key areas like the bathroom show their age. The property is functional and move-in ready, but requires minor updates to bring it to current styles and standards, particularly in the bathroom and kitchen cabinetry/flooring.

Expansive Lot Size: The property boasts a substantial 33,394-square-foot lot (over 0.75 acres), offering significant outdoor space for various uses, including potential expansion or recreational vehicle storage.
Newly Remodeled Kitchen: Features a recently updated kitchen with attractive granite countertops, providing a modern and appealing central area for cooking and entertaining.

Cons
Overpriced Relative to Market Estimate: The current listing price is approximately 9% higher than the property's estimated market value, potentially indicating it is overpriced compared to current market conditions.
Older Home Construction: Built in 1989, the home is 35 years old, suggesting that areas beyond the newly remodeled kitchen may require updates or maintenance to meet contemporary standards.
Lower-Rated Local Schools: Several nearby public schools, including elementary and middle schools, have lower ratings (1-2 out of 10), which could be a significant consideration for families prioritizing school quality.
