More Insights

Built in 1953 (73 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1953, the property has undergone a recent and extensive high-quality renovation, as explicitly stated in the description and visually confirmed by the images. The main kitchen features custom wood cabinetry, high-end stainless steel appliances (including a wine fridge), modern backsplash, and hardwood flooring. The primary bathrooms are spa-inspired with new vanities, contemporary fixtures, freestanding tubs, and stylish tiling. All visible components in the main living areas, including flooring, lighting, and paint, appear new or virtually new, reflecting current quality standards and design trends. While a lower-level kitchenette and bathroom show older finishes, the primary living spaces are clearly top-tier and recently updated.
