Condition: Built in 2004, this property is well-maintained and move-in ready. While the kitchen and bathroom styles (e.g., traditional wood cabinets, granite/tiled countertops) reflect the home's original build era and are not fully modernized, they are clean, functional, and do not require immediate renovation. Significant updates include an owned 17-panel solar system, electric car charging, and low-maintenance backyard landscaping with turf and a putting green. The property's overall condition, recent system upgrades, and lack of deferred maintenance place it firmly in the 'Good' category, despite the absence of a mentioned cooling system and somewhat dated aesthetic finishes in key areas.
