Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property, built in 1984, is 40 years old. While it is described as 'immaculate move-in ready' with 'new carpet' and 'newer appliances' (white), the kitchen features original wood cabinets and a very dated fluorescent box light fixture. These elements, along with the property's age, indicate that while it is well-maintained and functional, it requires minor updates to modernize the kitchen and likely the bathrooms (which were not pictured). This aligns with the 'Fair' condition criteria, where major components are functional but show signs of being outdated.

The property carries a significant monthly HOA fee of $414, which can impact affordability and long-term ownership costs for potential buyers.
- Limited Outdoor Space
With a small lot size of 2,308 sq. ft., outdoor living and yard space are considerably limited, which may not appeal to buyers seeking a larger private outdoor area.
- Age of Property
