More Insights

Built in 1997 (29 years old).
Condition: Built in 1997, this property is exceptionally well-maintained and move-in ready. The kitchen features top-tier stainless steel appliances (Sub-Zero, double oven, gas cooktop) and granite countertops, which, while not the absolute latest trend in cabinetry style, are of high quality and in excellent condition. Bathrooms are similarly well-appointed with quality materials and appear very clean. Hardwood flooring is prevalent and in pristine condition throughout the main living areas. While the property lacks central air conditioning, which is noted as a weakness, the overall condition, high-end finishes, and evident care place it firmly in the 'Good' category, suggesting it has been extensively maintained or updated within the last 5-15 years, even if not a full, recent renovation.
