Property is move-in ready.
This 1962 property is in move-in ready condition following significant past renovations. It features an updated kitchen with high-end appliances, renovated bathrooms, and high-quality finishes such as ornate wrought-iron entry doors, tray ceilings, and recessed lighting. While the home is well-maintained and lacks deferred maintenance, the specific styles of the fixtures, cabinetry, and tile work suggest the major renovations likely occurred within the 5-to-15-year range rather than being a brand-new 'excellent' grade renovation.
