Condition Rating
Good
Built in 2003, this property is 21 years old, placing it just outside the typical 'Good' age range but within the 'Fair' range. However, the home appears exceptionally well-maintained with high-quality finishes, including beautiful hardwood floors and a grand staircase. The outdoor living space with a built-in BBQ and fire pit is a significant asset. While the powder room shows a more traditional style consistent with its age, the overall impression is one of a move-in ready home with no immediate renovation required. The absence of kitchen and main bathroom photos makes a definitive assessment challenging, but the visible areas suggest a property that has been meticulously cared for, with systems likely functional and within their expected lifespan, aligning more closely with a 'Good' condition rating rather than 'Fair' which implies more prominent signs of being outdated or requiring minor updates.
