More Insights

Built in 1975 (50 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1975, this property has undergone a beautiful and extensive recent renovation, as evidenced by the description and images. The kitchen features modern white shaker cabinets, Carrera marble countertops, a large waterfall island, high-end stainless steel appliances (including a 6-burner gas range), and contemporary lighting, all appearing virtually new. The bathrooms are equally updated with modern vanities, black fixtures, glass-enclosed showers, and stylish tiling. Flooring throughout is a mix of new-looking light tile/polished concrete, hardwood, and clean carpet. While the absence of central air conditioning is noted, the overall quality, style, and condition of the visible updates, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms, meet current high standards and suggest an extensive renovation within the last 5 years, aligning with an 'excellent' rating.
