Condition Rating
Good

This property, built in 1973, has undergone extensive updates and remodeling as described, featuring high-end stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and marble flooring. The 3-zone A/C and elevator are modern amenities. While the kitchen cabinets have a traditional style and one bathroom exhibits a very specific, somewhat dated aesthetic, all components appear to be in excellent condition and well-maintained. The property is move-in ready with no immediate renovations required, aligning with the 'Good' score criteria for a home extensively renovated within the last 5-15 years, where major systems are functional and within their expected lifespan, and some components may be updated but not necessarily a full recent renovation to the latest trends.

Cons

Age of Original Construction: Built in 1973, despite extensive updates, the underlying structure and some systems may still be original, potentially leading to unforeseen maintenance or repair costs associated with an older property.
Significant Price Reductions: The property has undergone multiple price reductions from an original list price of $5.75M to the current $4.95M, which could indicate initial overpricing or market resistance, potentially affecting perceived value.
