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.
- Calçada de pedra portuguesa com cores diferentes rejuntada com cimento, mato no rejunte,
parte de cimento sem acabamento com trincas e rachaduras; jardim gramado com plantas
variadas, pedras ornamentais com manutenção;

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

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

well kept
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.
Something went wrong...
