Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 2002, this property is well-maintained with a new A/C installed in 2015. However, the kitchen features Corian countertops and a mix of stainless steel (refrigerator) and dated white appliances (microwave, oven, dishwasher). The bathrooms also show dated elements like cultured marble surfaces and traditional cabinetry. While functional and clean, these key areas show signs of being outdated, aligning with the 'Fair' category's description of requiring minor updates or having major components that are functional but show signs of being outdated.
