OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property is exceptionally well-maintained and move-in ready, but falls into the 'fair' category based on the specific age-based criteria. Built in 1994 (30 years old), the home retains its original kitchen layout with dated white appliances and painted cabinetry rather than a full modern renovation. While the flooring has been updated to a contemporary laminate/LVP and the interior is freshly painted, the core systems and fixtures reflect the 25-40 year age bracket typical of the 'fair' designation.
