Despite being built in 1971, the property has undergone an extensive and recent renovation, as evidenced by the modern kitchen featuring sleek stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, white shaker-style cabinetry, and subway tile backsplash. The flooring throughout the living areas and bedroom appears new and in excellent condition. The description explicitly mentions 'updated, custom finishes throughout,' indicating a comprehensive modernization. While bathroom images are not provided, the high quality of the visible renovations suggests the entire unit meets current quality standards with minimal physical depreciation.
