Property is move-in ready.
Built in 2009, this luxury penthouse is in move-in ready condition and fits the 10-20 year age bracket for a 'good' rating. The property features high-end finishes such as resurfaced hardwood floors, a gourmet kitchen with Bertazzoni and Bosch appliances, and updated Lutron Caseta lighting. While it has received several modern upgrades and meticulous maintenance, it does not qualify as 'excellent' because it has not undergone a full-scale renovation within the last 5 years.
