Property is move-in ready.
This co-op unit is in good condition, largely due to recent significant updates. The description highlights a 'remodeled eat-in kitchen, fresh paint, new carpet, and new modern light fixtures,' which are clearly visible in the images, presenting a move-in ready interior. The kitchen features modern stainless steel appliances, updated cabinetry, and contemporary countertops. While the main bathroom has some modern updates (new shower tile, modern toilet), the vanities and lighting in both bathrooms appear older and are the most dated elements of the unit. Crucially, the building underwent a '$19M seismic retrofit in 2019,' a major structural renovation completed within the last 5 years, significantly enhancing the building's integrity and safety. This, combined with the unit's cosmetic updates, places it firmly in the 'Good' category, as it is move-in ready with well-maintained systems and recent significant renovations, even if some components (like bathroom vanities) show their age.
