This 1958-built estate has undergone extensive, high-quality renovations, making it move-in ready. The kitchen features high-end, modern appliances (gas cooktop, built-in ovens, wine refrigerator, integrated fridge) and granite countertops, though the distressed cabinet style is more traditional than cutting-edge modern. The primary en suite boasts a luxurious oversized tub, spa-like shower, and double sinks, all in excellent condition, though the glass block windows are a slightly dated design choice. Gorgeous hardwood floors are present throughout most of the home, and major systems like central AC and forced air heating are in place. The property is meticulously maintained with numerous amenities, indicating significant investment and care. While not 'newly built' or 'fully renovated recently' to the most current aesthetic trends in every detail, its overall condition, functionality, and quality of updates are very high, fitting the 'Good' criteria perfectly.
