Good

This property, built in 2000, presents as move-in ready with significant updates that provide a fresh, contemporary feel. The luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout is a major modern upgrade. The kitchen features white shaker-style cabinetry, stainless steel appliances (double oven, gas cooktop), and an undermount sink, which are all in good condition. While the granite countertops and tile backsplash in the kitchen appear to be from an update within the last 10-15 years rather than brand new, they are well-maintained and functional. Bathrooms have updated vanities, modern light fixtures, and clean tiling. The overall aesthetic is cohesive and appealing. Although the core systems are 24 years old, the visible interior and exterior components show minimal wear and tear and are well-maintained, indicating a property that has been extensively renovated within the last 5-15 years, fitting the 'Good' criteria.
