Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1983, this property is well-maintained and move-in ready, but it lacks recent comprehensive renovations. The kitchen and bathroom feature dated styles, including older white appliances and standard cabinetry. While the flooring has been updated to laminate and the unit is clean, the overall aesthetic and major systems reflect a home that has been maintained through regular upkeep rather than modern modernization, consistent with the 'fair' criteria for properties over 20 years old.
