More Insights

Built in 1992 (34 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1992, this property has undergone extensive and high-quality renovations that bring it to a virtually new standard. The kitchen features crisp white cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, recessed and under-cabinet lighting, making it modern and highly functional. Bathrooms boast updated vanities, modern fixtures, and 'coastal-inspired finishes,' including LUXE bidets. Key system upgrades like a PEX repipe, dual-pane windows, air conditioning, and a saltwater softener system further enhance its condition and appeal. The flooring, with designer carpet and linen-style porcelain tile, also appears new and well-maintained. Overall, the property presents as move-in ready with no deferred maintenance, meeting current quality standards.

Once upstairs, vaulted ceilings soar above the main living areas, enhancing the airy, light-filled layout. Dual-pane windows with decorative grids & plantation shutters allow sunlight to filter in beautifully, while designer carpet & linen-style porcelain tile add warmth & texture underfoot. The living room centers around a marble tile inset gas fireplace, complemented by a pull-down TV mount that blends form & function.
