Condition Rating
Good
Built in 2006, this property falls within the 10-20 year age range for a 'Good' score. The images reveal a meticulously maintained estate with high-end finishes throughout. The kitchen features professional-grade Viking appliances, solid wood cabinetry, and granite countertops, all in excellent condition, though the style leans more traditional than ultra-modern. Bathrooms, while not explicitly detailed in images, are expected to match the property's overall luxurious standard. The home boasts hardwood and large format tile flooring, coffered ceilings, multiple fireplaces, and a resort-style backyard with a pool and spa. Owned solar is an added modern benefit. While not extensively renovated within the last 5 years to qualify as 'Excellent,' it is clearly move-in ready with no immediate renovations required, and all major systems appear functional and well-maintained.
