Condition Rating
Good
Built in 1956, this mid-century home has undergone significant and stylish updates, particularly in the bathrooms which feature modern subway tile, black fixtures, and contemporary vanities, appearing to be very recent renovations (within 5 years). The kitchen, while not ultra-luxury, is functional and updated with white shaker-style cabinets, dark countertops, stainless steel appliances, and modern tile flooring, likely updated within the last 5-15 years. Hardwood floors are present throughout the main living areas and bedrooms, and are in good condition. The overall aesthetic is clean, bright, and move-in ready, blending its original character with modern comforts. While the property description notes 'potential for modernization' and doesn't detail 'comprehensive renovations,' the visible updates are substantial enough to classify it as well-maintained and requiring no immediate renovations, aligning with the 'Good' criteria.
