Despite being built in 1948, the main house features recently remodeled bathrooms and a modern kitchen with high-end stainless steel appliances, Carrara marble counters, and updated fixtures, as confirmed by the images. The flooring throughout the main living areas is dark hardwood in good condition. The second unit also includes a functional and well-maintained kitchen and bathroom. While the age of the main structure suggests potential for older underlying systems, the visible living spaces are move-in ready and show significant recent investment, aligning with the 'Good' criteria for extensive renovations within 5-15 years and overall well-maintained condition.
