Condition Rating
Good
The property benefits from extensive, high-quality renovations in the kitchen (2020) and bathrooms (2022), featuring new appliances, granite/marble countertops, and modern cabinetry, making these areas virtually new and move-in ready. The original solid oak flooring is well-maintained and durable. However, the property was built in 1937, and while key areas are updated, the overall age of the structure means other systems may be older. A significant drawback is the unpermitted master bathroom and closet, which could lead to future legal or financial complications. The listing also lacks mention of a cooling system. Despite these concerns, the recent major renovations in critical areas elevate its condition beyond 'Fair'.
