Condition Rating
Fair

The property, built in 1971, has received several significant updates including dual-pane windows, newer HVAC, and an updated electrical panel. The bathrooms have been recently and tastefully renovated with modern vanities, fixtures, and tiling. However, the kitchen, while functional with some newer stainless steel appliances (dishwasher, built-in oven/microwave), retains its original or older white cabinetry, laminate countertops, and outdated fluorescent lighting, which prevents it from being considered 'Good'. The hardwood floors are well-maintained, but the bedroom has carpet. This mix of recent updates and dated elements, particularly in the kitchen, indicates a 'Fair' condition, suggesting it's well-maintained but would benefit from a kitchen renovation to meet current aesthetic standards.

High Association Fee: The monthly association fee of $640.0 is substantial and adds a significant ongoing cost to homeownership.
