More Insights

Condition: Despite being built in 1961, the property has undergone a 'beautifully renovated from top to bottom' transformation, presenting in 'immaculate, turn-key condition.' The images confirm extensive modern updates, including two modernized kitchens (one with high-end stainless steel appliances and contemporary finishes, the other clean and functional with white appliances), 'transitionless accessible inspired bathrooms' with modern fixtures and tiling, new AC/heat mini-split systems, double-pane windows, and sleek flooring throughout. All visible components appear new or virtually new, meeting current quality standards with no deferred maintenance, aligning perfectly with the 'Excellent' criteria for a property extensively renovated within the last 5 years.
