Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property was built in 2002, making it 22 years old. While the unit is clean and well-maintained, and the building's common areas (pool, spa, lobby) appear recently updated and in excellent condition, the interior of the unit, particularly the kitchen and bathrooms, shows signs of being outdated. The kitchen features mixed-age appliances (some white, some stainless steel) and granite countertops with a style typical of the early 2000s. Similarly, the bathrooms have tile and granite finishes that align with the original build year rather than recent renovations. The 'Travertine floors throughout' are a quality material but also reflect the original aesthetic. These elements indicate that while functional and maintained, the property requires minor updates to meet current style standards, placing it in the 'Fair' category.
