Condition Rating
Good

The property, built in 1979, has undergone extensive and high-quality renovations, making it largely move-in ready. The kitchen is modern with high-end appliances and finishes, and many areas feature updated hardwood flooring, lighting, and contemporary styling. However, while one bathroom (Image 10) appears recently updated to current standards, another master bathroom (Image 7) features a corner tub and mirror style that, while clean and functional, appears to be from an older renovation (likely 15-25 years ago) and does not meet 'virtually new' current quality standards. This slight inconsistency in renovation age, despite the overall luxurious feel and excellent condition of most components, places it in the 'Good' category rather than 'Excellent'.
