Condition Rating
Good

Despite being built in 1939, this property has undergone significant, high-quality renovations, particularly evident in the kitchen and bathrooms. The 'expansive chef's kitchen' features professional-grade appliances, a large island with a prep sink, double ovens, integrated refrigerator, and granite countertops, all in excellent, well-maintained condition. The cabinetry, while not ultra-modern, is a classic glazed style that appears to be part of a substantial update. The bathrooms, including the 'decadent bath with a soaking tub' in the primary suite and the updated Jack & Jill bath, showcase quality materials like dark wood vanities, marble-look countertops, and well-maintained tiling. Flooring throughout includes rich mahogany hardwood and travertine-style tiles, all in good condition. While the renovations are not brand new (within 5 years), their quality and style suggest they were completed within the last 5-15 years, making the property move-in ready with no immediate renovation required. The overall condition reflects a well-maintained home with updated major components.
