Condition Rating
Fair

The property, built in 1995, is meticulously maintained with rich oak floors throughout. However, the kitchen and bathrooms, while functional and clean, feature dated elements such as honey-colored wood cabinets, speckled granite countertops, and older black appliances. The overall aesthetic reflects its original build era and would benefit from cosmetic updates to meet current styles, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
