More Insights

Built in 1966 (60 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1966, the property has undergone an extensive and recent renovation, bringing it to a virtually new condition. The description highlights a 'chef’s kitchen outfitted with premium quartz countertops, a walk-in pantry, and top-tier finishes' and a 'custom Michael Aram lighting fixture,' indicating a high-end, modern kitchen. Bathrooms are also implied to be recently updated and enlarged. Crucially, the property boasts a new roof, solar panels, new electrical wiring, updated piping, a new 5-ton AC unit, and two tankless water heaters, all pointing to major systems being new or extensively upgraded within the last 5 years. High-quality finishes like Italian porcelain tile and premium laminate flooring are used throughout, aligning perfectly with the 'excellent' criteria of being fully renovated recently with virtually new components and no deferred maintenance.
