Condition Rating
Good

Built in 1984, this home has undergone a significant and stylish remodel. The kitchen features modern gray cabinets, butcher block countertops, white subway tile backsplash, and newer stainless steel appliances (fridge, dishwasher, range, hood), all appearing to be in excellent condition. The bathrooms are also extensively updated with modern vanities, contemporary tile work, and updated fixtures. Newer luxury vinyl plank flooring is consistent throughout the main living areas, and lighting has been updated with recessed and modern pendant fixtures. While the cosmetic updates are excellent and make the home move-in ready with no immediate renovations required, the property's age (40 years) and the description of 'newer' rather than 'brand new' components suggest an extensive renovation within the last 5-15 years, aligning perfectly with the 'Good' condition criteria.

Cons

Three-Story Layout: The three-story design, while offering distinct living areas, may present accessibility challenges or be less desirable for buyers with mobility concerns.
Age of Property: Built in 1984, despite recent remodels, some core systems or structural elements may still be original or older, potentially requiring future maintenance.
Lack of Cooling System: The description only mentions central heating, implying a lack of central air conditioning, which could be a consideration for comfort during warmer months.
