Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is move-in ready.
The property is in move-in ready condition and has been significantly updated from its original 1983 construction. It features a modernized open-concept layout, vaulted ceilings, and updated bathrooms with walk-in showers.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

- Aging Infrastructure
Built in 1983, the home may require ongoing maintenance or updates to major mechanical systems that have not been recently modernized despite the aesthetic upgrades.
