More Insights

Built in 1967 (59 years old).
Condition: The property features a meticulously maintained main residence built in 1967, which has undergone significant renovations, and a newly built (2 years old) Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) in excellent condition. The ADU boasts a modern kitchen with white shaker cabinets, quartz countertops, and new stainless steel appliances, along with contemporary finishes throughout. The main house's kitchen is functional and clean, but its light wood cabinets and granite countertops suggest a renovation from 15-25 years ago. The primary bathroom, while luxurious with dark green marble, is stylistically dated. Other bathrooms appear more updated. While some elements in the main house are not ultra-modern, the property is move-in ready with no immediate renovations required, and all major systems appear well-maintained, aligning with a 'Good' condition score.
