Condition: Despite being built in 1912, this property has undergone a comprehensive and high-quality renovation, making it virtually new in terms of its living spaces. The MLS description explicitly states 'Beautifully remodeled' and 'Modern upgrades throughout,' which is strongly supported by the images. The kitchen features new white shaker cabinetry, light countertops, a stylish dark blue/grey picket tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances (including a gas range), a custom wood range hood, and modern pendant lighting over the island. Both bathrooms are completely updated with modern vanities (one dark green, one white), contemporary fixtures, round mirrors, white subway tile showers, and attractive patterned floor tiles. Throughout the home, there is new light wood-look flooring, recessed lighting, and fresh paint. The electrical panel also appears updated. The exterior has fresh paint and low-maintenance landscaping. All components appear new or virtually new, meeting current quality standards with no deferred maintenance, aligning perfectly with the 'Excellent' condition criteria for a recently renovated property.
