The kitchen features high-quality custom wood cabinetry, granite/stone countertops, and stainless steel appliances, indicating updates and excellent condition, though the style is traditional rather than ultra-modern.

Pros & Cons

Architectural Excellence & High-End Finishes: Designed by renowned architect Howard Spector, the estate boasts custom steel & glass entry doors, William Ohs cabinetry, hand-carved woodwork, and solid stone flooring, signifying exceptional quality and luxury.

Sustainable & Modern Infrastructure: Equipped with a leased solar system, a water purification system, and a monitored alarm, enhancing energy efficiency, health, and security.

Cons

Leased Solar System: While beneficial for energy, the solar system is leased, which may involve ongoing monthly payments and potential transfer complexities for a new owner, unlike a fully owned system.
Extensive Grounds Maintenance: The property's extensive grounds and award-winning landscape, while beautiful, will require substantial ongoing maintenance and associated costs, potentially deterring buyers seeking a lower-maintenance lifestyle.
Age of Core Structure: Built in 1991, the main house is over 30 years old. While featuring custom finishes, some core systems not explicitly upgraded may be nearing the end of their typical lifespan, potentially requiring future investment.
