Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Good
TeardownExcellent

Property is move-in ready.

The property is in move-in ready condition and exceptionally well-maintained. While originally built in 1980, it features a chef's kitchen with high-end stainless steel appliances and at least one newly updated bathroom. The interior shows high-quality traditional finishes, grand architectural details like beamed ceilings and a spiral staircase, and minimal physical depreciation. It falls into the 'good' category rather than 'excellent' because it retains a traditional 1980s-era layout and style rather than a full, top-to-bottom contemporary renovation.
