Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Good
TeardownExcellent

Property is move-in ready.

The property is in move-in ready condition and features extensive high-quality infrastructure upgrades that exceed typical maintenance for its 1979 build year. Key improvements include new PEX plumbing, upgraded electrical wiring and panels, soundproof windows, dual solar systems, and a tankless water heater. While the main residence and ADU are well-maintained with updated flooring and a newly installed shower/tub, the kitchen and bathroom aesthetics appear functional and well-kept rather than a complete contemporary 'down-to-the-studs' renovation, placing it firmly in the 'good' category.
