More Insights

Built in 1986 (40 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1986, has undergone significant and recent renovations, particularly evident in the kitchen which features modern white shaker cabinets, high-end stainless steel appliances (including a professional-style range), stone countertops, and contemporary lighting. The main living areas boast updated wood-look flooring, recessed lighting, and stylish finishes.
