Condition: Despite being built in 1917, this Craftsman bungalow has undergone an extensive and high-quality 'artful reimagining' and renovation. The kitchen features modern custom white cabinetry, marble/quartz countertops, subway tile backsplash, and high-end stainless steel appliances (professional-style gas range, large refrigerator), all appearing virtually new. The remodeled bathroom boasts a double vanity with vessel sinks, unique chandelier lighting, and a tiled shower-sauna with a contemporary black and white design, indicating recent and significant upgrades. The overall interior, including hardwood and tile flooring, paint, and period details, is in pristine, move-in ready condition with no visible deferred maintenance. The property meets current quality standards through its comprehensive and recent updates.
