More Insights

Built in 1961 (65 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1961, this property has undergone extensive and recent renovations, making it truly 'turnkey.' The kitchen features modern stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and updated flooring. The primary bathroom is 'completely remodeled with a fresh, modern design,' and the backyard boasts a 'fully remodeled pool with a brand-new spa.' All visible components, including flooring, light fixtures, and overall finishes, appear new or virtually new, meeting current quality standards with no deferred maintenance. The only notable functional absence is central air conditioning, but the quality and recency of the updates in all other areas align with an excellent condition rating.
