More Insights

Built in 2000 (26 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 2000, the MLS description explicitly states the home has undergone a 'comprehensive list of renovations and upgrades with unmatched quality throughout,' leaving 'no corner...untouched.' The images strongly support this, showcasing a chef's kitchen with high-end stainless steel appliances, white shaker cabinets, subway tile backsplash, and modern lighting. Bathrooms feature marble floors, contemporary vanities, and sleek fixtures. Hardwood floors, smart home technology (Lutron lighting, electronic blinds), and luxurious amenities like an elevator, outdoor kitchen, and sauna further confirm a virtually new and top-tier condition, meeting current quality standards with no visible deferred maintenance.
