More Insights

Built in 1973 (53 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1973, this property has undergone an extensive and high-quality renovation, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms. The 'chef’s kitchen' features modern cherry wood shaker cabinetry, granite countertops, a full suite of stainless steel GE appliances, and contemporary pendant and LED lighting. Both bathrooms are beautifully updated with travertine flooring and surrounds, custom cabinetry, granite counters, SolaTube natural lighting, and modern fixtures, including a low-threshold shower and a deep soaking tub. Other updates like dual-pane windows, crown molding, and well-maintained flooring contribute to a virtually new interior condition. While central AC is not mentioned, the overall quality and modernity of the renovations align with the 'excellent' criteria for a recently and extensively renovated property.
