Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1999, this 27-year-old property falls into the 'fair' category as it is aged but well-maintained through regular upkeep. While the listing highlights functional upgrades like a leased solar system and a backup generator, there is no mention of a comprehensive interior renovation. The kitchen and bathrooms likely feature original late-90s styles and finishes, which, while functional, show signs of being outdated compared to modern standards.
