Condition Rating
Good

Built in 1989, this property has received significant updates that make it largely move-in ready. The kitchen features modern stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, a farmhouse-style sink, and updated lighting, suggesting a renovation within the last 5-15 years. The main living areas boast attractive wood flooring and a contemporary stacked stone fireplace. While the master bedroom's blue carpet is dated and the bathrooms are not explicitly shown to be updated, the overall condition, especially in the key areas of the kitchen and living space, is well-maintained and functional, aligning with the 'Good' criteria of being move-in ready with no immediate major renovations required.
