Although built in 2001, the home features a luxury chef's kitchen with a professional-grade Lacanche range and custom cabinetry that remains in excellent shape. The interior boasts updated modern light fixtures, well-maintained hardwood flooring, and unique architectural details like a stone pizza oven. It shows minimal wear and tear, far exceeding the typical 'fair' condition for its age.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- High Available Lot Utilization

Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 3.
