Condition: Despite being built in 1979, this townhome has undergone a comprehensive and recent 'designer done' renovation, making its interior virtually new. The kitchen features custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, a waterfall island, and new stainless steel appliances, all in a modern, open-concept style. Bathrooms are described as 'luxurious en-suites with premium fixtures.' All plumbing and electrical systems, dual-zone heating/cooling, wide-plank hardwood floors, recessed lighting, and energy-efficient windows have been updated. The images confirm a high-end, contemporary aesthetic throughout the living spaces, kitchen, and bedrooms, indicating minimal physical depreciation and meeting current quality standards.
