Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is move-in ready.
The property is move-in ready and features significant recent capital improvements, including a brand-new roof, fresh interior and exterior paint, and beautifully refinished original oak floors. While the kitchen and bathrooms maintain a classic/vintage aesthetic rather than a full modern overhaul, they are well-maintained and functional. The property's 'Good' status is supported by its immediate livability and recent cosmetic refreshes, though the low Home Energy Score indicates that mechanical systems and insulation may still reflect its 1929 construction.

- Poor Energy Efficiency
