Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1997, this property is 27 years old and largely retains its original aesthetic. The kitchen features functional but dated white cabinets, basic granite-look countertops, and white tile flooring. Bathrooms also show signs of age with standard vanities, basic fixtures, and dated strip lighting. While the living areas have updated laminate flooring, other areas are carpeted, and light fixtures throughout are generally basic. The home is maintained but requires cosmetic updates to modernize its style and features, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria for properties built 25-40 years ago without major recent renovations.
