More Insights

Built in 1957 (69 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1957, the property has undergone extensive, high-quality renovations, as evidenced by the 'remodeled chef's kitchen' with high-end Wolf appliances, quartz counters, and shaker cabinetry, and the 'luxurious spa-style bath' with a steam shower and jetted tub. The wide-plank wood floors, recessed lighting, and modern finishes throughout the living areas and bedrooms give the impression of a virtually new home, meeting current quality standards with no visible deferred maintenance.
