The kitchen is fully remodeled with new light wood cabinetry, white countertops, subway tile backsplash, modern stainless steel appliances (range, microwave, dishwasher), and a farmhouse sink, all appearing virtually new.

The property is move-in ready with no immediate renovations required, aligning with the 'extensively renovated within 5 years' aspect of an excellent rating, even with its older foundation.
