Condition: This property has undergone a beautiful and extensive renovation, as highlighted by the description and confirmed by the images.

New flooring (including carpet and wood-look tile) and fresh paint throughout contribute to an 'excellent' condition, meeting current quality standards with no visible deferred maintenance in the renovated areas.
