Property is move-in ready.
The property features a recently remodeled kitchen with high-end appliances, Carrara marble counters, and modern white cabinetry, along with remodeled bathrooms showcasing contemporary styles like subway tile and mosaic floors. The overall aesthetic is clean, updated, and move-in ready, with dark hardwood flooring throughout main living areas. However, despite these significant updates, the home was originally built in 1948, and the listing notes a potential for older underlying infrastructure and a lack of central air conditioning, which prevents an 'Excellent' rating for the entire property.
