Condition Analysis

Fair
TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1988 (36 years old), the property is well-maintained and move-in ready but remains largely dated. The kitchen features older oak-style cabinetry and white tile countertops with visible grout lines, which are characteristic of the original construction era. While clean, the interior finishes and systems likely exceed the 20-year threshold for modern updates.
