Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is move-in ready.
The property is move-in ready and features a high-end permitted kitchen remodel with premium stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, and stone countertops. While the structure dates back to 1951, the interior has been well-maintained with updated hardwood flooring, recessed lighting, and modern fixtures. The outdoor living space is exceptional, featuring a professional-grade outdoor kitchen and bar. It falls into the 'good' category rather than 'excellent' because, while key areas are updated, it is not a brand-new construction or a total contemporary gut-renovation of the entire 1950s envelope.
