Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 2000, this property is well-maintained and move-in ready, but it shows its age through original or older finishes. The kitchen features maple cabinetry and granite countertops typical of the early 2000s, and the bathrooms utilize dated tile work. While the stainless steel appliances are a plus, the overall aesthetic, including the beige carpeting and light fixtures, reflects a lack of recent comprehensive renovation, placing it squarely in the fair category based on the 20+ year age and style criteria.
