This penthouse underwent an extensive designer renovation in 2017, featuring high-end Bosch appliances, Mohave quartzite countertops, and luxury vinyl flooring throughout. While the property is move-in ready with premium finishes and modern aesthetics, the renovation occurred seven years ago, placing it within the 5-to-15-year window specified for a 'good' condition rating rather than the 'excellent' category's 5-year threshold.
