More Insights

Built in 2006 (20 years old).
Condition: Built in 2006, this property has undergone a significant and recent 'modern design' update, as stated in the description and evident in the images. The kitchen features contemporary flat-panel cabinetry, white solid-surface countertops, and modern stainless steel appliances (KitchenAid oven, modern refrigerator, dishwasher) all in excellent condition. The half bathroom is sleek with a pedestal sink and modern vertical LED lighting. The main bathroom, while having a more neutral tub surround tile, is clean, functional, and features a modern vanity. Throughout the unit, the large format tile flooring, stylish pendant light fixtures, and exposed concrete ceilings contribute to a cohesive, modern, and virtually new aesthetic. The stacked LG washer/dryer also appears new. The property is move-in ready with no deferred maintenance, aligning with the 'excellent' criteria for a recently and extensively renovated home.
