Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Excellent
TeardownExcellent

Property is new construction or fully renovated.

Despite being built in 1989, this property has undergone an extensive and high-quality renovation within the last 5 years, aligning perfectly with the 'Excellent' criteria. The description explicitly states 'beautifully updated with luxury vinyl plank flooring, fresh two-tone paint, and designer finishes throughout.' The kitchen is a 'show-stopper' with new quartz counters, sleek euro cabinetry, and GE Profile appliances. All bathrooms are completely modernized with new vanities, fixtures, and tiling, including a freestanding tub and glass-enclosed showers. The flooring, lighting, and overall aesthetic are contemporary and virtually new. Exterior upgrades like new pool plaster, decking, and landscaping further confirm a comprehensive recent overhaul, leaving no deferred maintenance in visible areas.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

    Built in 1989, the property's underlying systems (e.g., HVAC, plumbing, electrical) may be original or require further inspection, despite recent cosmetic and specific outdoor updates.

  • High Maintenance Acreage
