Property is move-in ready.
The property has undergone significant recent upgrades, including a modern kitchen with granite countertops, new appliances, and wood-look tile flooring, as well as Swedish oak flooring in main living areas and the addition of A/C. The overall condition is well-maintained and move-in ready. However, the bathrooms, particularly one with yellow tiling, are notably dated in style and would require renovation to align with the more modern updates found elsewhere in the home.
