The bathrooms are clean, well-maintained, and functional, though some tile choices and light fixtures reflect a more traditional style rather than cutting-edge modern. The property boasts beautiful dark hardwood floors in main living areas and clean, light-colored carpets in bedrooms. Overall, the home is move-in ready with no immediate renovations required, aligning with the 'Good' condition criteria for a property extensively renovated within the last 5-15 years.

Cons
Property Age: Built in 1978, the home's underlying structure is older, which may lead to potential concerns regarding the age of non-updated systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, roof) or less energy efficiency compared to newer constructions.
Listing Price vs. Market Estimate: The current listing price of $1,950,000 is 5% above the automated property estimation of approximately $1,851,520, suggesting it may be positioned at the higher end of market value.
Vague System Updates: While 'recent upgrades' are mentioned for flooring and kitchen, the description lacks specific details on updates to major systems such as HVAC, windows, or plumbing, which could be a consideration for a home of this age.
