Fair
TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1985 (41 years old), the property is well-maintained and move-in ready but remains dated. While it features newer Milgard windows and laminate flooring, the kitchen contains older oak cabinetry and white appliances, and the bathrooms show mid-range updates likely exceeding 15-20 years in age, necessitating future modern updates.
