Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is move-in ready.
Built in 1995, this property is largely move-in ready and well-maintained. The kitchen has been extensively updated with modern white shaker cabinets, stainless steel appliances (including high-end brands like Viking and Bosch), and contemporary countertops. The main living areas feature light hardwood flooring, high ceilings, and modern lighting. However, the primary bathroom, while clean, shows dated elements such as a glass block shower enclosure and a specific natural stone countertop style. Some other bathrooms also feature distinct, slightly older styles (e.g., green marble). A significant drawback is the absence of a central cooling system. While many areas are updated, these factors prevent an 'Excellent' rating, placing it firmly in the 'Good' category.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- High Available Lot Utilization
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 87177, living area = 4176.
