More Insights
Built in 1954 (72 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1954, this property has clearly undergone an extensive, high-end, and very recent renovation, aligning with the 'avant-garde expression' and 'high design' described. The kitchen features top-of-the-line Viking appliances, unique glass and wood countertops, modern open shelving, and contemporary lighting, all in pristine condition. While no direct bathroom images are provided, the description mentions 'marble baths' and the primary suite includes 'dual baths and generous dressing rooms' (Image 21 shows a luxurious, marble-clad dressing area), indicating a similarly high standard. All visible interiors, including flooring, light fixtures, and finishes, appear new or virtually new, reflecting current luxury standards with no signs of wear or deferred maintenance. The steel windows and seamless indoor-outdoor flow further underscore the modern, quality renovation.
