Condition: This luxury condo, built in 2004, is in excellent, move-in ready condition. The kitchen features high-end stainless steel appliances (refrigerator 2021, stove/oven new), custom white shaker cabinetry, elegant white countertops, and subway tile backsplash, all appearing modern and well-maintained. The primary bathroom boasts luxurious Carrara marble, a soaking tub, and a walk-in shower, reflecting a high standard of finish. Hardwood flooring is present throughout, and major systems like the water heater were recently replaced (2024). While not a brand-new build or fully renovated within the last 5 years, the property's age (20 years) combined with significant recent appliance and utility updates, and its overall pristine, high-quality finishes, align perfectly with the 'Good' score criteria, indicating a well-maintained home with minimal wear and tear and no immediate renovation needs.
