Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is move-in ready.
The property was built in 1924 but has undergone significant renovations, including a second-story addition in 2013 and a downstairs remodel in 2000, with further updates in January 2024. The kitchen features modern cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and updated countertops. The bathrooms appear to be recently renovated with contemporary fixtures and tile work. The flooring is new, and the overall aesthetic is clean and updated. While not brand new, the extensive renovations and recent updates place it in the 'good' category, indicating it is move-in ready with no immediate renovation needs. The absence of mention of central air conditioning is a minor drawback.
