More Insights
Built in 1939 (86 years old).
Condition: This property has undergone an extensive and recent full remodel, as explicitly stated and visually confirmed in the images. The kitchen and bathrooms feature modern, virtually new components including white shaker cabinets, dark countertops, subway tile backsplash, contemporary grey tiling, and updated fixtures. New double-paned windows, laminate flooring throughout, and a new electrical system contribute to its excellent condition. While the original structure is from 1939, the comprehensive updates, including smart home features and solar panels, bring it to current quality standards, aligning with an 'extensively renovated within 5 years' criteria. The only notable functional absence is central air conditioning, but the condition of all existing and renovated components is excellent.
