Built in 2000 (25 years old).
Condition: Built in 2000, this Country Craftsman home presents as virtually new due to extensive, high-quality renovations. The kitchen features modern white shaker cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a large island, and subway tile backsplash, all in pristine condition. Bathrooms are equally impressive with contemporary vanities, fixtures, and beautifully tiled showers and soaking tubs, reflecting a luxurious and updated style. Wide pine floors throughout the main living areas are impeccably maintained, and all light fixtures, cooling/heating systems (AC on 2nd floor), and electrical devices appear modern and fully functional. The overall aesthetic is cohesive, clean, and meets current quality standards with no visible deferred maintenance.
