Condition Rating
Good
The property, built in 2000, is 24 years old but presents as move-in ready with no immediate renovations required. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances and natural stone countertops, which are desirable upgrades, though the cabinet style and floor tiles suggest they might be original or an early 2000s update. All flooring (hardwood, carpet, tile) appears well-maintained. The overall condition is clean, functional, and shows minimal wear and tear, aligning with the 'Good' criteria for a well-maintained property where major systems are functional and some components may be updated, even if not a full recent renovation.
