Condition Rating
Good

The property was fully rebuilt in 2006, making the extensive renovation 18 years old. While this is slightly beyond the 5-15 year range for an 'Excellent' renovation, the visual evidence strongly supports a 'Good' rating. The kitchen features modern white shaker cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and contemporary tile flooring. The bathroom shown is highly updated with a glass-enclosed shower, modern gold fixtures, and stylish tiling, indicating either very high-quality timeless choices from 2006 or more recent cosmetic updates. Hardwood floors, recessed lighting throughout, and the presence of solar panels contribute to a move-in ready condition with minimal wear and tear, and no immediate renovations required. The property does not show signs of outdated components typically associated with a 'Fair' rating.
