Condition Rating
Fair
The property was built in 1990, making it 34 years old. While the home appears well-maintained and boasts desirable features like soaring ceilings and a large lot, many interior elements, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms, are significantly dated. The kitchen features black cabinets and speckled granite countertops, likely updated 15-20 years ago, but not recently. The bathrooms exhibit very dated brass fixtures, older tile, and vanity styles. The wet bar also shows a dated aesthetic. The property is functional and move-in ready, but requires substantial cosmetic updates to meet current quality and style standards, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria of being aged but maintained, with major components functional but showing signs of being outdated.
