Despite being built in 1961, this property has undergone an extensive, high-quality modern renovation, as evidenced by the 'TURNKEY!' description and the images. The kitchen features sleek, flat-panel white cabinetry, modern stainless steel appliances (including a built-in oven and contemporary refrigerator), a distinctive mid-century modern hood, and stylish 3D tile backsplash. The bathrooms are equally impressive with modern vanities, rectangular sinks, glass-enclosed walk-in showers with rain shower heads, and contemporary lighting. The entire unit boasts consistent glossy white tile flooring, modern light fixtures, and a fresh, updated aesthetic throughout. All visible components appear new or virtually new, meeting current quality standards with no deferred maintenance.
