More Insights

Built in 1965 (61 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1965, this property has undergone extensive, high-quality renovations, particularly evident in the kitchen and primary bathroom. The kitchen features new white shaker cabinets, sleek quartz countertops, high-end stainless steel appliances (including a Viking range), and modern fixtures. The primary bathroom boasts a contemporary double vanity, modern lighting, and a spacious walk-in shower with updated tiling. Hardwood flooring throughout the main living areas and updated LVP/engineered wood in bedrooms, along with modern light fixtures and fresh paint, contribute to a virtually new interior feel. The backyard with its modern deck and pool also appears recently updated. While the original build year is 1965, the property clearly meets the 'extensively renovated within 5 years' criteria for an excellent score, with all visible components appearing new or virtually new.
