Built in 1925 (101 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1925, this property has undergone extensive, high-quality renovations, particularly evident in the main house's kitchen and bathrooms. The kitchen features marble counters, a large island, a 6-burner Viking stove, and modern stainless steel appliances. The primary bathroom boasts marble hex tiles, a freestanding soaking tub, and an oversized glass-enclosed shower, all appearing virtually new. Hardwood floors, recessed lighting, and contemporary finishes are consistent throughout the main residence and the updated guest house and pool house kitchens/baths. The property shows no signs of deferred maintenance and meets current quality standards.
