More Insights

Built in 1986 (39 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1986, this property has undergone a 'beautifully remodeled' and 'extensively renovated' transformation. The gourmet kitchen features premium stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and modern cabinetry, while all bathrooms are updated with contemporary vanities, fixtures, and tiled showers. The consistent elegant tile flooring throughout, modern lighting, dual-pane windows, central air conditioning, and tankless water heater all indicate a comprehensive and recent renovation, making the property virtually new in terms of its interior and systems, meeting current quality standards with no deferred maintenance.
