More Insights
Built in 1982 (43 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1982, this property has undergone extensive and high-quality modern renovations, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms. The kitchen features sleek white cabinetry, modern stainless steel appliances, contemporary countertops, and a stylish mosaic backsplash. Both bathrooms are 'stylishly remodeled' with modern vanities, marble-look countertops, updated fixtures, and attractive tiling (including a unique dark mosaic in one and a classic black-and-white pattern in another). The living areas boast well-maintained hardwood flooring and recessed lighting, contributing to a bright and inviting atmosphere. The overall condition reflects a property that has been meticulously updated to current quality standards, making it move-in ready with virtually new key components.
