Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is move-in ready.
This property, built in 1991, is move-in ready and benefits from several significant recent updates, including a new roof (2022), recent interior and exterior paint, and Anderson dual-pane windows. The kitchen features newer stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and a modern backsplash, contributing to a 'good' condition. While the bathrooms are functional and well-maintained, their small square tile countertops, wood cabinetry, and gold-framed shower doors (in the primary bath) appear dated, preventing an 'excellent' rating. The tile flooring throughout is clean but also reflects an older style. Overall, the property is in good condition with no immediate renovations required, though the bathrooms could benefit from a cosmetic update.
