Although built in 1980, the property has undergone significant renovations (likely 15-20 years ago) and is exceptionally well-maintained. The kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and updated cabinetry. The presence of a modern mini-split HVAC unit and the pristine condition of the exterior and ADU indicate the home is move-in ready and functional, exceeding the 'Fair' category despite its chronological age.
