More Insights

Built in 1964 (62 years old).
Condition: Built in 1964, this property has undergone an extensive and high-quality 'midcentury-inspired' renovation, bringing it to a modern standard. The kitchen features contemporary dark blue/grey shaker cabinets, wood countertops, stainless steel appliances (including a wine fridge), and a stylish brass/gold backsplash, all appearing new or virtually new. Flooring consists of polished concrete/epoxy and warm hardwood, which are both modern and well-maintained. Light fixtures are contemporary throughout. While the visible components are excellent and the property is move-in ready, the lack of explicit detail regarding the age and condition of all core systems (HVAC, plumbing, electrical) for a 1964 build, as noted in the property analysis, prevents an 'Excellent' rating. However, the significant and tasteful updates clearly place it well above 'Fair'.
