Despite being built in 2001, this property has undergone extensive recent renovations, particularly in key areas. The kitchen is described as 'newly renovated gourmet' with luxury porcelain countertops, matte finishes, and new high-end appliances (double ovens with air fry/Sous Vide, French door refrigerator), which is evident in the images and meets current quality standards. The detached casita has also been 'newly re-done' with new porcelain flooring and an updated bathroom. These significant updates, along with new washer/dryer and garage door, indicate a property that is virtually new in its most critical components, with minimal physical depreciation.
