Condition Rating
Excellent

Despite being built in 1989, this property has undergone extensive, high-quality renovations very recently. The description highlights a ground-floor in-law suite added in 2021 and a primary suite walk-in closet also added in 2021. The gourmet kitchen is a true showpiece with top-of-the-line, modern stainless steel appliances (Tecnogas Superiore, Bosch, KitchenAid), white shaker cabinets, and contemporary finishes, clearly renovated within the last 5 years. The in-law suite bathroom also appears newly updated with modern fixtures. While the primary bathroom's tile and vanity style might be slightly less cutting-edge than the kitchen, it is still a 'spa-inspired bath' and appears well-maintained and functional. The overall condition, recent major updates, and high-end features throughout the main living areas and the new in-law suite meet the criteria for an 'excellent' rating.
