Condition Rating
Excellent

Despite being built in 1969, this property has undergone extensive and recent renovations that bring it to an excellent condition. The description explicitly mentions 'recent interior upgrades' including new HVAC and ductwork, a new tankless hot water heater, completely updated plumbing for the primary bathroom, instant hot water, and new kitchen sink fixtures and appliances. The primary bathroom is a standout, featuring a 'spa-inspired' design with a freestanding tub, modern walk-in shower, and contemporary double vanity, all indicative of a high-quality, full renovation. The kitchen, while retaining what appear to be original white cabinets and tiled flooring, benefits significantly from new stainless steel double wall ovens and other new appliances and fixtures, making it highly functional and updated. Hardwood floors are present throughout the main living areas and appear well-maintained. The fresh paint and new major systems (HVAC, water heater) further contribute to a virtually new feel in critical areas, meeting current quality standards with minimal physical depreciation.
