Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property is exceptionally well-maintained and move-in ready, but it reflects its 1991 construction date with largely original or older updates. The kitchen features dated white appliances and cabinetry, and the bathrooms show signs of being outdated despite their clean condition. It fits the criteria for a home built over 20 years ago with functional but aged components.
