The kitchen features a modern remodel with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, and the bathroom has been upgraded with a marble-topped vanity and spa tub. The inclusion of wood-style flooring, recessed lighting, and an EV charger indicates consistent maintenance and a renovation age likely within the 5-15 year range.
