Condition Rating
Good

This 1935-built home has undergone significant and thoughtful renovations, bringing its condition to a 'good' standard. The description highlights 'modern updates' including a 'thoughtfully updated kitchen' with modern stainless steel appliances, white shaker-style cabinets, dark countertops, and subway tile backsplash, along with recessed lighting, all indicative of a recent renovation (likely within the last 5-15 years). The bathrooms are described as 'remodeled' and appear clean and functional, though their style (pedestal sinks, gold-toned fixtures, older vanity lights) leans more classic/vintage than cutting-edge modern. Crucially, the property benefits from 'updated electrical and plumbing systems' and dual-paned windows, addressing major concerns for a home of this age. The original wood floors are well-maintained, and the overall aesthetic blends vintage charm with modern functionality, making it move-in ready with no immediate renovation required. While not 'excellent' due to some stylistic choices that aren't brand new, the extensive updates to critical systems and key areas like the kitchen elevate it beyond 'fair'.

Cons

Age of Original Structure: Despite significant updates, the core 1935 structure may present ongoing maintenance considerations or potential for unforeseen issues inherent to older homes.
Lack of Central Cooling: The property description does not mention a cooling system, which could be a comfort concern for some buyers during warmer periods, especially in a mountain climate.
Price Discrepancy & Reductions: Multiple price reductions and a current list price significantly above the property's estimated value suggest potential overpricing or market resistance, impacting perceived value.
