More Insights

Built in 1974 (51 years old).
Condition: This townhouse, built in 1974, is described as 'fully updated and move-in ready,' which is strongly supported by the images. The kitchen features modern white shaker cabinets, light quartz countertops, a stylish grey subway tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances, appearing to be a recent and high-quality renovation. The living areas boast dark hardwood flooring and recessed lighting, contributing to a contemporary feel. While the primary bathroom has an updated vanity and fixtures, the tile work in the shower and on the floor appears to be an older style, preventing an 'Excellent' rating where all components are virtually new. However, the property benefits from modern amenities like a Nest thermostat and central A/C, fresh paint, and overall appears very well-maintained with no immediate renovations required. The updates are substantial enough to place it firmly in the 'Good' category, indicating a property that has been extensively renovated within the last 5-15 years and is ready for immediate occupancy.
