More Insights

Built in 1984 (42 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1984, this property has undergone extensive and recent renovations. The description explicitly states 'new HVAC condensers installed in 2024,' a 'fully remodeled kitchen' with 'all-new cabinetry and appliances,' and 'all bathrooms have been thoughtfully updated with newly revealed skylights, modern lighting, and contemporary showers and baths.' Images confirm modern, high-quality finishes in the kitchen (stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, subway tile backsplash, recessed lighting) and main bathrooms (glass-enclosed showers, updated vanities, jetted tub in master). Other significant upgrades include a tankless water heater and new electrical switches/outlets. The property is presented as 'turnkey furnished' and 'move-in ready,' indicating virtually new components and no deferred maintenance, aligning perfectly with the 'extensively renovated within 5 years' criterion for an 'Excellent' rating.
