Property is move-in ready.
The property is move-in ready and features a modern, renovated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, stone countertops, and updated cabinetry. While the home was built in 1969, the interior shows significant updates including recessed lighting, skylights, and well-maintained finishes. The presence of older parquet flooring and the limitation of a single bathroom reflect its age, but the overall condition and lack of deferred maintenance justify a 'good' rating.
