More Insights

Built in 2003 (23 years old).
Condition: Built in 2003, this Spanish-Revival home is exceptionally well-maintained with high-quality custom finishes throughout. The gourmet kitchen features professional-grade stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and custom wood cabinetry, all in excellent condition. Bathrooms also showcase custom tile work, solid wood vanities, and are meticulously kept. While the property is 21 years old, its condition is move-in ready with no immediate renovations required, and all visible components show minimal wear. The primary drawback is the stated absence of air conditioning, which is a significant consideration for comfort, but does not detract from the overall excellent condition and quality of the existing features.
