More Insights
Built in 1958 (68 years old).
Condition: This property, though built in 1958, underwent an 'ultraluxury' and 'extensive remodel' in 2017, making it effectively new in terms of condition and style. The kitchen features premier, high-end appliances (Wolf, Miele, Sub-Zero), modern white shaker cabinetry, marble countertops, and light hardwood flooring, all appearing pristine. Bathrooms are equally luxurious with contemporary vanities, high-end fixtures, patterned marble and tile work, freestanding tubs, and spacious glass-enclosed showers. Throughout the home, there are exquisite designer selections, modern lighting, and high-quality finishes, indicating no deferred maintenance and minimal physical depreciation. The 2017 renovation, while 7 years ago, was so comprehensive and high-end that it still meets the 'virtually new' standard for an excellent rating.

Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 2969, other record living area = 2880. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 4.
Original Construction Year: Despite the extensive 2017 remodel, the property's original construction dates back to 1958, which may raise questions for some buyers regarding the age of the underlying structure.
High Price Point: With a list price of $5.98 million, the property is positioned in the ultra-luxury segment of the market, which inherently limits the pool of potential buyers.
Unspecified Full System Upgrades: While extensively remodeled, the description does not explicitly detail whether all major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) were fully replaced or upgraded to modern standards during the 2017 renovation, which could be a consideration for a 1958 build.
