Good
TeardownExcellent
Property is move-in ready.
Built in 2000, the property is well-maintained and move-in ready. The interior features a functional open-concept kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, likely updated within the last 10-15 years. Systems are a highlight, including central air and paid solar. While the exterior landscaping is dry and the pergola shows some wear, the structural elements like dual-pane windows and vaulted ceilings align with the 'Good' criteria for its age bracket.
