Condition Rating
Good

Built in 1993, this property is 31 years old. However, the listing explicitly states 'updates throughout' and 'updated bathrooms.' The images confirm significant renovations, including dark hardwood flooring throughout the main living areas and bedrooms, and a well-maintained master bathroom with a tiled walk-in shower and glass enclosure, likely updated within the last 5-15 years. The kitchen features granite countertops and black appliances, which, while not ultra-modern, are clean, functional, and appear to be an update from 10-20 years ago. The overall condition is move-in ready with no immediate renovations required, aligning with the 'Good' score criteria for a property extensively renovated within the last 5-15 years.
