Condition: Despite being built in 1949, this property has clearly undergone an extensive, high-quality renovation within the last 5 years. The kitchen features modern white cabinetry, a large wood-top island, high-end stainless steel Viking appliances, and contemporary pendant lighting. Bathrooms are equally updated with modern vanities, gold-toned fixtures, glass-enclosed showers, and clean tiling.
