Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1989, this 36-year-old property fits the criteria for 'fair' condition as it is aged but maintained. While the listing highlights a new range and a move-in ready status, there is no mention of a full modern renovation of the kitchen or bathrooms. The property relies on shared laundry facilities and shows signs of its original construction era, though it remains functional and well-kept through regular upkeep.
