Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is move-in ready.
Despite being built in 1973, the property is in move-in ready condition with significant modern updates throughout the interior. The kitchen has been renovated with stainless steel appliances, stone countertops, and contemporary cabinetry. Bathrooms feature updated tiling, modern vanities, and glass shower enclosures. The home includes updated flooring, recessed lighting, and modern glass railings on the balcony, though the overall structure and compact square footage reflect its original era rather than a brand-new construction.
