More Insights

Built in 1972 (54 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1972, this penthouse loft has undergone extensive recent renovations, including a newly updated kitchen with brand-new stainless steel appliances, modern luxury vinyl plank flooring, brand-new carpeting, fresh interior paint, new electrical outlets/light switches, and a new wall-mounted AC/heating unit. The bathroom, while featuring travertine, appears well-maintained and functional, though its style might suggest an update slightly older than the kitchen.
