Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1988, appears well-maintained but is significantly outdated in its finishes. The kitchen features older white appliances, dated white raised-panel cabinets, laminate or older solid surface countertops, and fluorescent lighting. Bathrooms similarly show older vanities, countertops, and strip lighting. While functional and clean, the overall aesthetic, including the carpeted living areas, requires substantial updates to meet current quality and style standards.

Cons
