Condition: This property, built in 1977, presents as move-in ready with significant recent updates in key areas. The kitchen features modern white shaker cabinets, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances, indicating a renovation within the last 5-15 years. The primary bathroom has been extensively remodeled with contemporary finishes, including a large walk-in shower with modern tiling and a stylish vanity. The flooring (hardwood and new-looking carpet) and fresh paint throughout contribute to a well-maintained and updated aesthetic. While the property's age (1977) and the noted absence of central air conditioning prevent an 'Excellent' rating, the visible renovations and overall condition align well with the 'Good' criteria, suggesting major systems are functional and the home requires no immediate renovation.
