Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is new construction or fully renovated.
The MLS description explicitly states the existing 5-bedroom/3-bathroom front house has been 'completely renovated with modern finishes and updated systems.' The images confirm this, showcasing a modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances, white countertops, and updated cabinetry. Bathrooms feature contemporary vanities, fixtures, and tiling. The living areas have clean wood-look flooring, fresh white paint, and recessed lighting. Despite the 1903 build year, the extensive and recent renovation (likely around the 2023 sale) brings the property's current condition to an excellent standard, with all visible components appearing new or virtually new and meeting current quality standards.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
