More Insights

Built in 1958 (67 years old).
Condition: This 1958 mid-century architectural gem has undergone significant and thoughtful renovations, bringing it to a 'good' condition. The description highlights a 'reimagined period-appropriate kitchen' with modern, professional-grade stainless steel appliances, sleek white countertops, and light wood cabinetry, as seen in the images. The bathrooms also appear updated with contemporary vanities, fixtures, and clean finishes. Major systems like HVAC and the roof have been updated, ensuring modern comfort and functionality. While the property retains its original character with features like flagstone floors, these elements are well-maintained and contribute to its unique style rather than indicating deferred maintenance. The overall aesthetic is clean, stylish, and move-in ready, aligning with a property extensively renovated within the last 5 to 15 years, where major systems are functional and well-maintained, and no immediate renovations are required.
