Condition Rating
Good

Despite being built in 1938, this property has undergone significant and high-quality renovations, particularly evident in the kitchen. The kitchen features modern Bosch stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and appears thoughtfully designed and virtually new. The Brazilian cherry floors throughout the main living areas are a premium upgrade and are in excellent condition. While some light fixtures in other rooms might not be brand new, the overall interior is very well-maintained, clean, and move-in ready with no immediate renovations required. The exterior also appears well-kept. The property aligns with the 'Good' criteria due to extensive renovations within the last 5-15 years, bringing major components up to modern standards.
