OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is move-in ready.
This 1982 townhouse is in move-in ready condition due to significant recent refreshments. Key highlights include a fully remodeled, modern spa-inspired bathroom, updated luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout, fresh interior paint, and recessed lighting.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Inconsistent Cooling System
The split cooling configuration—central A/C on the main level and a wall unit upstairs—may result in uneven temperature distribution throughout the home.
- Limited Bathroom Count
With only one full bathroom shared between two bedrooms, the layout may be less convenient for roommates or small families compared to dual-suite models.
- Modest School Ratings
The assigned public schools carry average to below-average ratings (4-5 range), which may impact long-term appreciation and appeal to education-focused families.
