This 1928 Mediterranean Revival residence is exceptionally well-maintained and has undergone significant updates, making it move-in ready. Major systems like the 4 HVAC units and owned solar are modern. The kitchen features high-end appliances (Wolf Range, built-in refrigerator) but the Portuguese tiles and ceiling light panel suggest a renovation that is likely 10-20 years old, offering a classic rather than ultra-modern aesthetic. The bathrooms are updated with modern fixtures and finishes, clean, and functional. While not 'newly built' or 'extensively renovated within 5 years' in a contemporary style, the property's overall condition, updated systems, and functional, well-appointed interiors align perfectly with the 'Good' rating.
