Condition Rating
Good

Built in 1990, this property has undergone significant updates, including a tastefully remodeled bathroom with modern fixtures and tiling, newer A/C system, and stylish laminate and tile flooring throughout. While the kitchen is clean and functional, its appliances and laminate countertops appear to be older and not part of a recent, extensive renovation, preventing an 'Excellent' score. However, the overall condition is move-in ready with no immediate renovations required, aligning well with the 'Good' criteria for a property extensively renovated within the last 5-15 years.
