Condition Rating
Good

While the property was originally built in 1949 and extensively rebuilt in 1990, the visual evidence strongly suggests significant, high-quality renovations have occurred much more recently, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms. The kitchen features modern white shaker-style cabinetry, contemporary white countertops, and high-end stainless steel appliances (including a wine fridge and double oven), all appearing to be updated within the last 5-10 years. Bathrooms are consistently updated with modern vanities, fixtures, glass-enclosed showers, and subway tiling, reflecting a recent renovation within the 5-15 year timeframe. Hardwood floors are in excellent condition throughout main living areas, and lighting fixtures are current. The property is move-in ready with no immediate renovations required, aligning with the 'Good' condition criteria, as major systems and key aesthetic areas are well-maintained and updated.

Cons

Original Construction Year: While rebuilt in 1990, the original structure dates back to 1949, which may lead to concerns about underlying systems or require more thorough inspections compared to newer constructions.
High Maintenance Potential: The extensive outdoor features, including a large lot, pool, hot tub, cabana, and expansive lawns, suggest significant ongoing maintenance costs and time commitment.
Lack of Explicit Modern Cooling System: The property description does not explicitly mention a central air conditioning system, which could be a consideration for buyers in warmer months or those accustomed to modern climate control.
