Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 2001, this property is exceptionally well-maintained and move-in ready, with functional systems and minimal wear. However, the kitchen features granite countertops and dark wood cabinets, and the primary bathroom includes a jetted tub with tiled surround and accent tiles, all of which reflect early 2000s styling. While high-quality for their time, these key areas show signs of being outdated in terms of current aesthetic trends, aligning with the 'Fair' criteria for properties built over 20 years ago with major components showing signs of being outdated.
