Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1998, is 26 years old and appears to be well-maintained with good overall structural integrity. The main kitchen features updated stainless steel appliances, which is a positive, though the cabinetry style is traditional. However, several bathrooms exhibit very dated styles, particularly the one with distinct yellow and blue patterned tiles and yellow trim, and another with a pedestal sink and older tile work. While clean and functional, these areas show clear signs of being outdated and would likely require minor updates or renovations to align with current aesthetic preferences. The light fixtures throughout are also largely traditional and some appear dated. The property is move-in ready, but the dated styles in key areas prevent it from achieving a 'Good' rating, as it would likely require minor cosmetic updates for most buyers.
