Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Property is new construction or fully renovated.

Despite being built in 1948, the MLS description explicitly states the property has been 'exquisitely restored and fully renovated' and is 'move-in ready.' The images confirm a very recent, high-end renovation throughout. The kitchen features modern white shaker cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and marble/quartz countertops. Bathrooms are luxurious with freestanding tubs, glass-enclosed showers, modern vanities, and contemporary tile work. Flooring is a mix of pristine hardwood and stylish tiles. All visible components appear new or virtually new, meeting current quality standards with no deferred maintenance.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • MLS Listing Discrepancy

    Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =15412, other record lot size in square feet = 15499. Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 6193, other record living area = 4868. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 5, other record bedroom count = 2.

  • Age of Original Construction

    Despite extensive renovations, the core structure dates back to 1948, which may raise concerns for some buyers regarding potential unseen infrastructure issues or the need for specialized maintenance over time.

  • Premium Price Point

    The high list price of $8.699 million targets a very exclusive buyer demographic, potentially leading to a longer marketing period and a smaller pool of qualified purchasers.
