Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is move-in ready.
The property is move-in ready and appears very well-maintained. While originally built in 1963, it has been significantly updated with a modern kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances and stone countertops, double-pane windows, and updated flooring. The vaulted ceilings and expansive decks are in great shape, and the home shows minimal wear and tear, though it lacks the ultra-modern finishes required for an 'excellent' rating.
