Condition Rating
Good

The property was built in 2007, making it 17 years old, which aligns with the 'Good' category's age criteria. While the downstairs unit boasts a 'new fully upgraded kitchen' with modern blue cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and laminate flooring, the main kitchen and other bathrooms appear to be original to the 2007 build. These areas are functional and well-maintained but feature more traditional styles, such as wood cabinets, tile flooring, and older light fixtures, preventing an 'Excellent' rating. Overall, the home is move-in ready, well-maintained, and includes valuable modern systems like a whole-house generator and private well.
