Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is move-in ready.
The property underwent a comprehensive 're-imagined and rebuilt' process in 2013, where all major systems—including electrical, plumbing, HVAC, windows, and doors—were replaced. The kitchen and bathrooms were fully updated with high-end finishes, custom millwork, and professional-grade appliances. While the home is in move-in condition with premium Santa Barbara-style aesthetics, the renovation took place approximately 13 years ago, which fits the 'Good' criteria (renovated within 5 to 15 years) rather than the 'Excellent' criteria (renovated within 5 years).
