Condition Rating
Good
The property, built in 1923, has undergone significant cosmetic updates, including elegant refinished hardwood floors and custom built-ins, making the main living areas and bedroom appear move-in ready and stylish. The kitchen, while not fully visible, appears clean with white cabinetry and appliances. The bathroom is functional and well-maintained, but its vanity and light fixtures suggest a renovation that is likely 15-25 years old, rather than a brand-new update. Overall, the unit is in good condition with no immediate renovation required, aligning with the 'Good' criteria, despite the building's age and the slightly dated bathroom.
