More Insights
Built in 1952 (73 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1952, the listing explicitly states the home has been 'renovated down-to-the-studs' with modern design and amenities. The images confirm this, showcasing a brand-new, high-end kitchen with modern dark gray shaker cabinets, white quartz countertops, white subway tile backsplash, and new stainless steel Samsung appliances. Bathrooms feature contemporary floating vanities, black fixtures, modern mirrors, and stylish white herringbone tile in the showers with accent lighting. Throughout the home, there is consistent light wood flooring, recessed lighting, and a clean, modern aesthetic. The recent significant price appreciation also supports a very recent, extensive renovation, placing it firmly within the 'extensively renovated within 5 years' category with virtually new components and no visible deferred maintenance.
