Property is move-in ready.
Built in 2005, this property is impeccably maintained and boasts over $200,000 in upgrades, making it move-in ready with no immediate renovations required. The kitchen features sleek quartz countertops and premium finishes, while the bathrooms are refined and well-kept. While the overall condition is excellent, some elements like the white kitchen appliances and traditional cabinet/backsplash styles, along with the busy granite in the master bath, are not 'virtually new' in terms of current high-end design trends, placing it firmly in the 'Good' category rather than 'Excellent'.
