More Insights
Built in 1989 (36 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1989, the property has undergone extensive 'contemporary luxury upgrades' as stated in the description. The kitchen, in particular, showcases a recent high-end renovation with modern white shaker cabinets, premium stone countertops, top-tier stainless steel appliances (including a panel-ready refrigerator and professional range), and recessed lighting, appearing virtually new. While bathrooms are not pictured, the description implies similar upgrades. The flooring throughout (hardwood, light wood plank, Saltillo tile) and overall presentation suggest a property that has been meticulously maintained and significantly updated to current quality standards, with no visible deferred maintenance.
