More Insights
Built in 1957 (68 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1957, this property has undergone extensive and high-quality renovations, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms, which are key focus areas. The kitchen features modern dark shaker cabinetry, white quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a contemporary range hood, all appearing virtually new. The bathroom is equally updated with a modern vanity, fixtures, and a tiled shower with a glass enclosure. Throughout the home, there's new-looking hardwood flooring, fresh paint, updated carpeting in bedrooms, and modern light fixtures (recessed lighting, ceiling fans, chandeliers). The windows also appear to be updated. While the property's age might suggest potential for underlying system updates, the visible components are in excellent, virtually new condition, meeting current quality standards with no apparent deferred maintenance. The overall aesthetic is bright, inviting, and move-in ready, reflecting a recent and comprehensive cosmetic overhaul.
