More Insights

Built in 2004 (22 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 2004, the listing explicitly states 'newly renovated estate,' and the images confirm this. The kitchen features high-end, modern appliances, custom cabinetry, and luxurious marble countertops and backsplash, appearing virtually new. Bathrooms are equally impressive with contemporary fixtures, freestanding tubs, glass-enclosed showers, and stylish tile work. Wide-plank wood floors, modern light fixtures, and impeccable overall finishes throughout the property indicate a recent, extensive renovation to current luxury standards, with no signs of wear or deferred maintenance.
