OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is move-in ready.
The property is move-in ready and features several tasteful updates including a remodeled master bathroom, recessed lighting, crown molding, and French doors. While the structure dates back to 1979, the interior has been well-maintained and modernized to provide a contemporary feel, though it does not meet the criteria for 'excellent' as it is not a brand-new construction or a total top-to-bottom renovation within the last 5 years.
