The interior features high-quality finishes including hardwood-style flooring, 20-foot ceilings, and well-maintained en-suite bathrooms. While the property is over 20 years old, the level of maintenance and the quality of the interior renovations align with the 'Good' category, though it falls short of 'Excellent' as it is not a brand-new construction or a total recent gut renovation.
