Well, u're actually right...the owner maintained it quite well...so it's actually move in condition with some minor touch up.

But we don't like the design so decided to redo the whole hse...except for the paquet flooring on the stairs & 2nd floor no change...

Guess what? My ID suggested having dry and wet kitchen as well!

Cant wait to move in soon. So excited for u also!
