Condition: Despite being built in 1964, this property has undergone extensive and very recent renovations, aligning with the 'extensively renovated within 5 years' criteria. The kitchen features modern white shaker cabinets, dark solid surface countertops, a contemporary subway tile backsplash, and new-looking stainless steel appliances.

The new fencing and improved backyard also contribute to its virtually new condition.
