Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1990, this property is well-maintained and move-in ready, but it primarily features styles and finishes from its original construction era. While the kitchen has been partially updated with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops, the cabinetry, tile flooring, and bathroom fixtures (including the jacuzzi tub and bidet) reflect 30-year-old design trends. The home meets the 'fair' criteria as it is aged but functional, showing signs of being outdated without a recent comprehensive renovation.
