Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1982, this property has received recent cosmetic updates including new carpet, fresh paint, new kitchen laminate flooring, new stove/microwave, and a new shower/tub in the upper bathroom. While these updates make it move-in ready, the kitchen's 'refreshed' (painted) cabinetry and older laminate countertops, along with the clearly dated half-bathroom vanity and mirror, indicate a 'vintage condition' as noted in the description. Major systems are functional, but the overall style and some components show signs of being outdated, suggesting minor updates would be desired by new owners for a modern aesthetic.
