Property is move-in ready.

The kitchen and bathrooms feature original 2005 finishes (oak cabinetry, granite, and cultured marble) which are functional but dated. The home includes updated systems like paid solar and central HVAC, and while the listing describes it as a 'diamond in the rough' suggesting a need for cosmetic TLC, it remains move-in ready.
