Property is move-in ready.

The property is move-in ready and has been significantly updated since its 1980 construction.

The presence of vaulted ceilings, skylights, and well-maintained French doors indicates a high level of upkeep and renovation within the last 5 to 15 years, though it does not meet the 'excellent' criteria of a brand-new or total recent overhaul.
