Despite being built in 1962, this property has undergone extensive and high-quality renovations, bringing it to current standards. The kitchen is fully remodeled with modern soft-close cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, quartz-like countertops, and a wine fridge. Both bathrooms feature contemporary vanities, updated tiling (subway tile), and modern fixtures, including a walk-in shower with a glass enclosure in one. Key systems like HVAC, dual-pane windows, and a tankless water heater are newer, and a fully paid solar system adds significant value. The pool has been resurfaced with a new pump, and the exterior boasts a 'Cool Wall' energy-efficient paint system. The flooring throughout is consistent and modern, and recessed lighting is prevalent. The property shows no signs of deferred maintenance and presents as virtually new in its critical components and aesthetics.
