Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is move-in ready.
The property is in move-in ready condition with significant recent (2025) cosmetic updates, including new LVP flooring, fresh interior paint, and refinished cabinetry and vanities. While the building was constructed in 1986 and the primary remodel occurred in 2005, the recent refreshments combined with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances maintain a high quality standard. It avoids an 'excellent' rating as it is a surface-level refresh rather than a full structural or systems renovation within the last 5 years.
