Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1987, this custom estate is exceptionally well-maintained for its age, featuring extensive marble flooring and grand architectural details. However, the kitchen and bathrooms, while functional and spacious, exhibit significantly outdated styles with light wood cabinetry, older appliances, and traditional fixtures (e.g., gold-tone faucets). The overall aesthetic, including light fixtures and some finishes, reflects its original construction period without significant modern renovations. While major systems appear functional, the property requires substantial aesthetic updates to align with contemporary tastes and standards.
