The kitchen features custom birch wood cabinetry, Arctic White Quartz countertops, a modern backsplash, premium KitchenAid appliances, and new terra cotta flooring, all appearing brand new. The bathrooms are equally impressive with Delta brushed gold hardware, Zellige ceramic tile, Hudson Valley sconces, and modern vanities, creating a spa-like atmosphere. New climate-control mini splits indicate updated HVAC. All finishes, fixtures, and appliances are contemporary and in pristine condition, meeting current quality standards with no deferred maintenance. The renovation is so comprehensive that the property functions and presents as virtually new.

Older Original Construction: While extensively remodeled, the property was originally built in 1954, meaning the underlying structure and some systems are older, potentially requiring future maintenance.
