Condition Rating
Excellent

Despite being built in 1976, this property has undergone an extensive, high-quality renovation, particularly evident in the 'celebrity chef designed kitchen' with high-end Subzero and Wolf appliances, custom cabinetry, and soapstone countertops. The bathrooms feature modern designs, including a walk-in rain shower with organic flair and stylish pebble flooring. All visible flooring is modern wood-look or tile, and lighting is updated with recessed fixtures. The overall aesthetic is cohesive, modern, and 'turnkey,' indicating that all key components are new or virtually new, meeting current quality standards. While the listing notes an absence of central air conditioning, this is a missing feature rather than a defect in the condition of existing components, which are in excellent shape.
