More Insights

Built in 1962 (63 years old).
Condition: Built in 1962, this property has clearly undergone significant and tasteful renovations, making it move-in ready. The kitchen is a standout, featuring modern stainless steel appliances, stone countertops, and well-maintained wood cabinetry, providing a high-quality and functional space. Hardwood floors and exposed beam ceilings add character and warmth throughout the main living areas and bedrooms. While the exact age of all renovations isn't specified, the visible updates appear to be within the last 5-15 years, aligning with the 'Good' criteria. The absence of bathroom images and a cooling system mention prevents an 'Excellent' rating, but the overall condition is well-maintained with minimal wear and tear.
