Condition Rating
Good

Built in 1954, this property has undergone significant renovations, making it move-in ready. The kitchen features modern granite counters and stainless steel appliances. The primary bathroom is described as 'spa-like' with a soaking tub and glass shower, though the specific green tile choice suggests an update that may be 5-15 years old rather than brand new. The second bathroom appears clean and functional but also reflects an older renovation style. Hardwood floors and exposed beams throughout the living areas are well-maintained. However, the absence of central air conditioning is a notable drawback, preventing an 'excellent' rating, despite the overall good condition and updated features.

Property Age: Built in 1954, the home's age may imply potential for older infrastructure or systems that could require future maintenance or upgrades, despite apparent renovations.
