Condition Rating
Good
Built in 1989, this property has undergone significant cosmetic renovations, particularly in the bathrooms which feature modern vanities, fixtures, and glass showers, and the kitchen with updated white cabinets, stainless steel appliances, granite counters, and recessed lighting. The overall interior is bright, clean, and move-in ready with vaulted ceilings and recessed lighting. While the property is 35 years old, the visible updates are substantial and recent enough to meet current quality standards for a 'Good' rating. However, the lack of specified updates for major systems like HVAC, roof, or plumbing, which would be nearing the end of their expected lifespan, prevents an 'Excellent' score.
