More Insights

Built in 1979 (46 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1979, the property has undergone extensive, high-quality renovations that appear to be very recent. The description highlights a 'chef’s kitchen' with high-quality cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and granite countertops, and a 'luxurious bathroom' with a new soaking tub, onyx walls, and a frameless glass door. Other significant upgrades include custom polished travertine flooring, hardwood floors, recessed lighting, a newly remodeled fireplace, and a custom bar. These features indicate that the key areas (kitchen and bathrooms) are virtually new and meet current quality standards, aligning with the 'Excellent' criteria for a fully renovated property within the last 5 years. While major underlying systems (HVAC, plumbing, electrical) are not explicitly stated as new, the visible and primary functional components are described as top-tier and recently updated.
