More Insights
Built in 1968 (57 years old).
Condition: This property, built in 1968, has undergone an extensive and high-quality renovation, making it move-in ready. The kitchen features granite countertops, subway tile backsplash, and top-tier JennAir and Miele appliances, all in excellent condition. Bathrooms are beautifully renovated with elegant granite and modern fixtures. Rich hardwood floors are present throughout the unit. While the style of the kitchen cabinets and granite suggests the renovation might be closer to 10-15 years old rather than brand new, it is clearly a comprehensive update. The primary drawback is the absence of central air conditioning, which is a significant system component. However, the overall condition of the renovated interior components is very high, aligning with the 'Good' category for a property extensively renovated within the last 5-15 years with well-maintained systems and minimal wear and tear.
