More Insights

Built in 1960 (66 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1960, this property has undergone extensive and recent renovations, particularly the kitchen which was completely updated in 2021 with brand-new stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, modern cabinetry, and stylish backsplash. The bamboo flooring throughout the home is consistent and appears new, contributing to a fresh, turnkey aesthetic. While the bathrooms feature some slightly less contemporary fixtures and tile patterns, they are impeccably clean, well-maintained, and fully functional, requiring no immediate updates. The overall condition, including the modern split AC unit and fresh interior, aligns with a property extensively renovated within the last 5 years, meeting current quality standards with minimal depreciation.
