Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property is well-maintained and move-in ready with recent updates like new Pergo flooring and fresh paint. However, it was built in 1990 and the kitchen and bathrooms remain largely in their original state, featuring dated tile countertops, older white appliances, and 1990s-style cabinetry and light fixtures. While functional and clean, the home lacks the comprehensive modern renovation required for a higher score.
