Condition Rating
Good

Built in 1995, this property benefits from significant recent updates, including an 'updated kitchen' with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, and 'new flooring throughout' (carpet, laminate, tile). The addition of 12 solar panels is a modern, energy-efficient upgrade. While the original build year is older, these extensive renovations, coupled with the overall well-maintained condition and move-in readiness evident in the images, align with the 'Good' criteria for properties extensively renovated within the last 5-15 years. The kitchen and other visible areas appear clean, functional, and aesthetically pleasing, requiring no immediate renovations.
