More Insights
Built in 1972 (54 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1972, this property has undergone a comprehensive and high-quality renovation, as explicitly stated in the description ('beautifully updated,' 'tastefully renovated throughout,' 'move in ready'). The images confirm a virtually new interior, featuring a state-of-the-art kitchen with top-of-the-line Wolf, Sub-Zero, and ASKO appliances, modern flat-panel cabinetry, and marble finishes. The bathrooms are equally impressive with floating vanities, a freestanding tub, and contemporary fixtures. Flooring, lighting, and overall finishes are modern and appear brand new, meeting current quality standards with no deferred maintenance.
