Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Good
TeardownExcellent

Property is move-in ready.

The property is move-in ready and well-maintained, featuring high-quality interior upgrades such as wood flooring, crown moldings, and a custom-designed fireplace. While the home was built in 1981, the description of a 'luxurious' primary bath and a 'well-equipped' kitchen suggests periodic updates that keep the home within modern functional standards. It lacks the 'excellent' rating as it is not a brand-new or total recent gut-renovation, but it clearly exceeds 'fair' condition due to its high level of upkeep and aesthetic appeal.
