Built in 1958 (68 years old).
Condition: Built in 1958, this property has undergone extensive, high-quality renovations, making it move-in ready. The kitchen features granite countertops, built-in high-end appliances, and a wine refrigerator, all in excellent condition. The primary en suite boasts double sinks, an oversized tub, and a spa-like shower. Hardwood floors are prevalent and well-maintained, and the home benefits from central AC and forced air heating. While the overall condition is superb and systems are functional, some stylistic elements, such as the distressed kitchen cabinets and glass block windows in the primary bath, suggest the renovations are likely within the 5-15 year range rather than 'virtually new' by the most current design standards, thus aligning with a 'Good' rating.
