Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property, built in 1992, is well-maintained and clean but shows clear signs of its age. The kitchen features older white appliances and cabinetry styles consistent with the original construction era rather than modern updates. While the unit is move-in ready and located in a luxury retirement community with excellent amenities, the interior finishes, including the carpet and bathroom fixtures, are dated and lack the contemporary renovations required for a higher score.
