Condition Rating
Good

The property, built in 1971, has undergone significant recent cosmetic updates including new LVP flooring, fresh paint, and recessed lighting throughout the main living areas. The bathrooms have been refreshed with new vanities, mirrors, and lighting, appearing modern and clean. The kitchen features painted cabinetry and updated hardware, but the appliances (white, coil-top electric range) and granite countertops appear older and are not fully updated to current modern standards. Despite the age of the original structure, the extensive recent cosmetic renovations make the property move-in ready with no immediate renovation required, aligning well with a 'Good' condition score.
