Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

The property is well-maintained but reflects its 1989 construction with largely original interior finishes. The kitchen and bathrooms feature dated tile countertops, older wood cabinetry, and basic white appliances. While the home benefits from significant recent upgrades like new windows and a water heater (2021), the 2006 HVAC system is nearing the end of its functional life, and the overall aesthetic requires modernization to meet current market standards.
