Condition Rating
Good
Built in 1979, this property has undergone extensive and high-quality renovations in its key living areas. The kitchen is fully remodeled with sleek, modern cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel Frigidaire appliances, and a large island, appearing virtually new. The bathrooms, including the primary suite, are also remodeled with contemporary vanities, fixtures, and tiling. New LVP flooring is present throughout the main living spaces. While the visible updates are excellent and the property is move-in ready, the original build year (1979) suggests some underlying systems may be older, and the lack of central air conditioning prevents it from achieving an 'Excellent' score across all criteria.
