The kitchen features modern white shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, a stylish mosaic backsplash, and contemporary tile flooring, though the appliances are white and appear functional rather than brand new stainless steel. All bathrooms have been thoughtfully updated with modern vanities, quartz countertops, updated fixtures, and clean tile work. The living areas boast modern LVP/engineered wood flooring and an updated fireplace with large format tile. Bedrooms have clean, relatively new carpeting. The overall aesthetic is fresh, modern, and move-in ready, indicating a comprehensive renovation likely within the last 5 years, aligning with the 'excellent' criteria for extensively renovated properties.
