The description highlights a 'newly remodeled chef’s kitchen' with quartz countertops, newer stainless steel appliances, and custom cabinetry, all confirmed by the modern and pristine appearance in the images. Both bathrooms have also been 'tastefully remodeled' with custom vanities and designer fixtures, presenting a virtually new condition.
