Condition: This property underwent a comprehensive, high-end remodel in 2020, making it virtually new inside. The kitchen features upgraded stainless steel appliances, modern white shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, a farmhouse sink, and a stylish glass tile backsplash. Bathrooms are luxuriously appointed with marble-look tiling, modern vanities, Kohler fixtures, bidet-equipped toilets, and lighted mirrors. Porcelain tile flooring throughout, smart LED lighting, and an enhanced water heating system further contribute to its excellent condition, meeting current quality standards with no deferred maintenance. While the building itself was built in 1965, the unit's extensive renovation within the last 5 years qualifies it for an 'excellent' rating based on its interior condition and features.
