More Insights

Built in 1972 (53 years old).
Condition: This property, built in 1972, has undergone extensive and high-quality renovations, making it move-in ready. The kitchen features a 'Chef's kitchen' with a commercial-style gas stove, built-in stainless steel appliances, granite counters, and custom cabinetry, all appearing modern and well-maintained. All bathrooms have been updated, with the primary suite boasting a 'new dual sink vanity and large expanded shower,' and other baths showing modern fixtures and finishes, such as the glass-enclosed shower and updated tiling. Hardwood flooring and recessed lighting are present throughout, indicating significant upgrades. While the original structure is over 50 years old, the comprehensive nature of the 'expanded and remodeled' description, coupled with the visual evidence of modern styles and features in key areas like the kitchen and bathrooms, suggests an extensive renovation within the last 5-15 years. The presence of a Tesla charger also points to updated electrical capacity. It falls short of 'Excellent' due to the age of the original build and the lack of explicit confirmation that all major underlying systems (plumbing, electrical, roof) have been fully replaced within the last 5 years, which is a strict criterion for 'Excellent'.
