More Insights

Built in 1973 (53 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1973, this property has undergone extensive and recent renovations, as evidenced by the description and images. The kitchen is 'fully reimagined' with custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, designer backsplash, and stainless steel appliances, appearing virtually new. Both bathrooms are 'beautifully updated' with modern vanities, fixtures, and tiling. Wide-plank flooring, recessed lighting, and tall baseboards create a cohesive, modern aesthetic throughout. The pool has been newly resurfaced, and the overall property is described as 'fully polished' and 'move-in ready,' indicating all visible components meet current quality standards with no deferred maintenance. This aligns perfectly with the 'Excellent' criteria for properties extensively renovated within the last 5 years.
