Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is move-in ready.
This historic penthouse is move-in ready and features high-end upgrades including Brazilian mahogany flooring and refined lighting. While it maintains its 1928 character with original Deco tile work and pedestal sinks, the property is well-maintained with no deferred maintenance mentioned. The unit has been thoughtfully reconfigured and updated to provide a luxury coastal living experience, though it stops short of an 'excellent' rating as it preserves vintage elements rather than featuring a full contemporary renovation.
