Condition Rating
Good
The property, built in 1975, has received recent updates including new luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout and newer kitchen appliances (fridge and stove), as stated in the description and visible in the images. The kitchen features clean white cabinets and laminate countertops, which are functional and well-maintained, though not high-end. The bathroom also shows updates with modern mirrors and lighting, and a clean vanity and tub/shower. These updates make the property move-in ready with a fresh, clean aesthetic, aligning with the 'good' criteria for a property extensively renovated within the last 5-15 years, where some components are updated but it hasn't undergone a full, high-end renovation.
