Built in 1995 (29 years old), the property exceeds the 20-year threshold for 'Good' condition. While it features new carpet and a cosmetic refresh (painted cabinets and stainless appliances), the kitchen and bathrooms retain their original 1990s layout and fixtures, such as the Hollywood-style vanity lighting, categorizing it as dated and needing eventual updates.
