Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property, built in 1978, has received some updates such as granite countertops and backsplash in the kitchen, laminate flooring, and crown molding. However, the kitchen still features an older white electric range and fluorescent lighting, and the cabinets appear to be an older style. A visible window AC unit suggests a lack of central cooling or an outdated system. While move-in ready and clean, these elements indicate that major components are functional but show signs of being outdated, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
