Property is move-in ready.
The property was extensively remodeled in 2019, which includes a designer kitchen, updated bathrooms, and major system upgrades (newer roof, HVAC, electrical, copper plumbing, and tankless water heater). Given the 2026 listing date, the 7-year-old renovation falls within the 'Good' category (5-15y reno), as it is well-maintained and move-in ready but exceeds the 5-year threshold for 'Excellent'.
