Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is move-in ready.
The property, built in 1986, has undergone significant recent renovations, including brand new Quartz countertops, new stainless steel kitchen appliances, fresh interior paint, new window blinds, a stylish chandelier, and a modern bathroom vanity. The wood flooring throughout the living areas and bedrooms, combined with the updated kitchen and bath, makes the unit move-in ready with a fresh, modern aesthetic. While the building itself is older, the extensive updates within the unit elevate its condition beyond 'fair' and into 'good', as it requires no immediate renovations and major visible components are new or well-maintained. It doesn't quite reach 'excellent' as it's not a newly built property and the description doesn't detail a full renovation of all major systems (e.g., HVAC, electrical panel) within the last 5 years, and the bathroom tub/shower combo is functional but not high-end new.
