Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is move-in ready.
The property is in move-in ready condition with several high-quality recent updates, including new hardwood flooring, updated stainless steel kitchen appliances, and new mechanical systems (heater and water heater). While the home was built in 1987, the interior presents well with modern finishes and an open-concept layout. It does not reach the 'excellent' level as it is a refresh rather than a full-scale recent gut renovation, but it far exceeds 'fair' due to the lack of deferred maintenance and the quality of the recent improvements.
