Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1990, this property is well-maintained with a recently updated kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and modern lighting. However, several bathrooms show dated fixtures, countertops, and styles (e.g., image 5), and some living areas have older carpeting and track lighting. While move-in ready, it requires minor updates to bring all areas, particularly the bathrooms and some flooring, to a contemporary standard, aligning with a 'Fair' condition.
