Condition Rating
Fair

The property, built in 1991 (33 years ago), is move-in ready with functional systems and some updates like luxury vinyl flooring and stainless steel kitchen appliances. However, the kitchen cabinets, granite countertops, and bathroom finishes appear dated, suggesting a renovation that occurred 15-25 years ago rather than a recent one. While well-maintained, the overall aesthetic and key components like cabinetry and tile work show signs of being outdated, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
