More Insights

Built in 1971 (54 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1971, this property has undergone a 'Modern Renovation!' and 'striking high end modernization.' The roof was replaced in 2024, indicating a very recent major update. The kitchen features 'quartz countertops and custom tile,' and the primary bathroom is described as 'spa-like' with a stand-alone tub, large shower, and dual vanities. These details, combined with the property being featured in Modernism Events, strongly suggest an extensive, high-quality renovation within the last 5 years, bringing all key components to a virtually new and current quality standard.
