More Insights
Built in 1953 (72 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1953, this property has undergone an extensive and elegant remodel, bringing it to a virtually new condition. The kitchen features modern white shaker cabinets, quartz countertops, subway tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. Both bathrooms are fully updated with contemporary vanities, fixtures, and tiling. Hardwood floors are present throughout the main living areas and bedrooms, and recessed lighting provides a modern ambiance. The overall aesthetic, finishes, and apparent lack of deferred maintenance strongly indicate a recent, high-quality renovation, aligning with the 'excellent' criteria for properties extensively renovated within the last 5 years.
