More Insights

Built in 1980 (46 years old).
Condition: This property, built in 1980, has undergone a significant and stylish renovation by designer Lee Stanton, as evidenced by the modern, high-end kitchen and bathrooms. The kitchen features contemporary white shaker cabinets, dark marble/quartz countertops, and top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances including a built-in coffee maker and panel-ready refrigerator. The bathrooms are equally impressive with modern vanities, stylish tile work, contemporary fixtures, and a sleek freestanding tub in the primary suite. Flooring throughout is a mix of well-maintained hardwood and modern tile. Light fixtures are updated and complement the mid-century modern aesthetic. While the visible elements are in excellent, move-in ready condition, the property analysis notes the 'Age of Core Systems' as a potential weakness. Without explicit confirmation of recent upgrades to major systems (HVAC, plumbing, electrical) within the last 5 years, the property falls into the 'Good' category, indicating it's move-in ready with extensive updates, but the underlying systems may be older than the cosmetic renovations.
