Condition Rating
Good

Built in 2004, this property is 20 years old, placing it at the upper end of the 'Good' category for age. While the primary bathroom has been recently remodeled with modern finishes and all bedrooms feature new carpet and updated fixtures, the kitchen, though well-appointed with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops, retains its original cabinetry style from 2004. This indicates some significant updates but not a full, recent renovation across all key areas to qualify as 'Excellent'. The home is move-in ready with well-maintained systems and minimal wear and tear.
