More Insights

Built in 1976 (50 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1976, this property has undergone extensive, high-quality renovations. The description explicitly states 'new wood flooring throughout' and a 'newly renovated, spa-inspired bath' in the primary suite, which aligns with the 'extensively renovated within 5 years' criteria for an excellent rating. The images confirm modern, high-end finishes in the primary bathroom (gold fixtures, freestanding tub, sleek design) and other guest bathrooms. The kitchen features modern stainless steel appliances, updated cabinetry, and a contemporary island. The guest house also appears to be recently updated with modern finishes. While the age of core systems is noted as a potential weakness, the visible and described cosmetic and functional updates are substantial, bringing the property's condition to a virtually new standard in key areas.
