Property is move-in ready.
The property is move-in ready and features significant modern updates despite its 1900 build date. The kitchen is updated with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, and the primary suite includes a modernized bathroom with dual sinks and a large walk-in shower. The inclusion of central AC, dual-pane windows, and recessed lighting indicates well-maintained systems and functional upgrades. It falls into the 'good' category as it is well-maintained and updated but does not appear to be a brand-new or total 'to-the-studs' renovation within the last 5 years.
