More Insights
Built in 1947 (78 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1947, this property has undergone an extensive and high-quality renovation, as evidenced by the 'beautifully reimagined' description and the provided images. Both the main residence and the detached guest unit feature brand new, modern kitchens with white shaker cabinets, granite/quartz countertops, and stainless steel appliances. The bathrooms are also fully updated with contemporary fixtures, vanities, and tiling. New light wood-look flooring, fresh paint, and modern recessed/flush-mount lighting are consistent throughout. All visible components appear new or virtually new, meeting current quality standards with no deferred maintenance. While the property analysis notes an absence of central cooling, the overall condition of the renovated spaces is outstanding.
