More Insights

Built in 1962 (63 years old).
Condition: Built in 1962, this property retains many original features like extensive terrazzo flooring, a retro entry foyer, and a vintage 'martini' bar. While the description mentions the kitchen was 'thematically updated over the years' and some bathrooms were 'redone,' the visible primary bathroom and powder room fixtures, vanities, and styles are clearly dated, likely from renovations 15-30+ years ago, not recent. The property appears well-maintained but requires significant cosmetic updates to meet current luxury standards, as indicated by the phrase 'the potential is endless for 500 Leslie Ln to become a modern gem.' It is functional but aesthetically outdated.
