Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1995, this property is well-maintained but shows its age through its interior finishes. The kitchen features light wood cabinets, speckled granite-like countertops, and a mix of older and newer stainless steel appliances, indicating it's functional but dated. Bathrooms also exhibit original or early 2000s styling with tiled countertops, light wood vanities, and specific tile patterns (including carpet in the primary bath vanity area), which are no longer current. While clean and functional, these areas would require minor to moderate updates to meet modern aesthetic preferences, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria.
