Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general) / Mozambique
Portuguese term or phrase: com manutenção
This is from a property description/inventory so little context to go on. Below is the entry in which it is found.

I known this means "maintenance" but does this mean that the item in question has been maintained, or requires maintenance? Any ideas appreciated.

agree  Anabel Reis Alves: the stones are clean, the comma separate the stones from the garden so "com manutenção" refers to the stones

agree  Marian Vieyra: It's hard to decide whether the stone needs maintenance or is well-maintained. I favour well-maintained.

well kept


Explanation:
As a native Brazilian I interpret that description as meaning that it has been maintained, it has seen some maintenance, but I do think that it's a weird phrasing, which is not uncommon in real estate material.
