More Insights
Built in 2005 (21 years old).
Condition: This luxurious custom-built home, constructed in 2005, falls within the 'Good' condition category due to its age (19 years old). However, it presents at the very top end of this classification. The property boasts a 'Gourmet Chef's Kitchen' with high-end appliances including a double oven, warming drawer, and three dishwashers, along with a double island, indicating excellent functionality and features. The primary bathroom is described as 'spa-like' with a soaking tub and a large walk-in shower, and images confirm its spaciousness, high-quality finishes, and immaculate condition. Throughout the home, visible elements like hardwood flooring, extensive tiling, and custom cabinetry appear exceptionally well-maintained with minimal wear and tear. While the aesthetic reflects a traditional/Mediterranean style popular around its build year, the overall quality, condition, and extensive amenities (both indoor and outdoor) are outstanding, making it move-in ready with no immediate renovations required. The only factor preventing an 'Excellent' score is its age, as some major systems may be approaching two decades old, as noted in the property analysis.
