Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1997, the property is well-maintained and move-in ready but shows significant signs of being outdated. While the upper unit features brand-new luxury vinyl plank flooring and fresh paint, the kitchen retains 1990s-style oak cabinetry and tile countertops, and the bathroom features dated tiling and fixtures. The property fits the 'fair' criteria as it is over 20 years old with functional but aged major components and has not undergone a full modern renovation.
