Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

The property is in move-in ready condition with significant interior updates across the units. The kitchens feature modern shaker-style cabinetry, stone countertops, and stainless steel appliances, while the bathrooms have been updated with contemporary vanities and tile work.
