Condition: This 1947-built home has undergone significant and recent renovations, particularly in the bathrooms, which feature modern vanities, glass-enclosed showers with contemporary tiling, and updated fixtures. The kitchen boasts luxury appliances (Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher), indicating a high-quality investment, although the visible cabinetry in one image appears to be from an earlier renovation (likely 10-15 years old) rather than brand new. Other positive updates include dual-pane windows and solar panels. The hardwood floors are in good condition. While not every component is brand new, the extensive updates make it move-in ready with no immediate renovation required, aligning well with a 'Good' condition score.
