Condition Rating
Good
Despite being built in 1911, this property has undergone significant and extensive renovations, including a newer roof, replaced foundation, and an energy-efficient heat pump, as stated in the description. The kitchen features modern stainless steel appliances, well-maintained cabinets, and granite countertops. The bathrooms are updated with contemporary vanities and fixtures. While some of the tile choices in the kitchen and bathrooms suggest a renovation that might be 5-15 years old rather than brand new, all components are in very good condition, functional, and present a clean, move-in ready aesthetic. The hardwood floors throughout the living areas are also well-maintained. The property requires no immediate renovations and major systems are within their expected lifespan, aligning perfectly with a 'Good' condition score.
