Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1990, presents a well-maintained contemporary exterior and main living areas with good hardwood flooring. However, the bathrooms are noticeably dated with original-style vanities, drop-in sinks, and tile work consistent with its build year. The kitchen, while clean and minimalist, also appears to be an older contemporary style, possibly original or an early 2000s update, rather than a recent renovation. While functional and move-in ready, the property requires minor to moderate updates, particularly in the bathrooms, to meet current aesthetic and luxury standards, aligning it with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
