Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is move-in ready.
The property is in move-in ready condition with significant updates that transcend its 1987 build date. The kitchen features modern stainless steel appliances and stone countertops, while the bathrooms have been updated with contemporary fixtures and tiling. The interior boasts well-maintained hardwood floors, dramatic wood ceilings, and expansive windows. While the architectural style reflects its original era, the lack of deferred maintenance and the presence of a fully functional, separate 1-bedroom apartment indicate the property has been extensively updated and well-preserved.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

- Hillside Topography
Typical of Claremont Hills, the steep terrain may limit the amount of usable flat outdoor space despite the generous lot size, potentially increasing landscaping maintenance.
