While the main kitchen appliances (refrigerator and range) are white and appear older, the overall condition is move-in ready with no immediate renovations required.

The finished attic bonus room with plumbing and HVAC venting adds significant value and flexibility. These updates, coupled with well-maintained systems, align with the 'Good' condition criteria, indicating a property extensively renovated within the last 5-15 years, despite its original construction year.
