Condition Analysis
See Full ReportOVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Fair
TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1997 (29 years old) with no evidence of recent major renovations. While the home is exceptionally well-maintained and move-in ready with clean hardwood floors and a functional layout, the age of the structure and original-style finishes (such as the fireplace tile and closet built-ins) place it in the 'Fair' category as it is dated and will likely require minor updates to systems and interiors soon.
