Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is move-in ready.
This duplex was extensively renovated in 2023, aligning with the 'Good' score criteria for recent renovations. The bathrooms are well-updated with modern fixtures and tiling. The kitchens feature updated cabinets and countertops, providing good functionality, although the appliances are basic white and not high-end. However, the hardwood floors show noticeable wear and tear, which is inconsistent with a 'fully renovated' property, and the heating system consists of older wall-mounted units rather than central HVAC. Despite these minor cosmetic and system-related drawbacks, the property is move-in ready and has undergone significant recent improvements.
