Condition: Despite being built in 1929, this property has undergone extensive and recent renovations, transforming it into a 'turnkey home.' The description highlights a 'recently added primary suite' with a 'resort-like' en-suite bathroom and an 'updated kitchen' with modern concrete counters and ample cabinet space. Major systems like central HVAC and a tankless water heater are new additions, along with a built-in sound system and alarm system.
