Condition Rating
Good
This property, built in 1903, has undergone significant and recent updates, making it move-in ready. The kitchen is a highlight, featuring modern stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and white shaker-style cabinets, aligning with current quality standards. While the top-floor bathroom's tile work appears to be from an older renovation (clean and functional but not ultra-modern), the description mentions a 'beautiful en-suite bath' in the primary bedroom, suggesting a more recent update there. The flooring throughout is a mix of well-maintained hardwood/laminate and clean carpet. Overall, the home presents as well-maintained with key updates, fitting the 'good' category where major systems are functional and some components are updated, without requiring immediate renovation.
