The outdoor spaces, including multiple decks, a fire pit, hot tub, and artificial turf, are also meticulously updated and well-maintained. While the exact renovation date isn't specified, the visible finishes and appliances suggest an extensive renovation within the last 5 years, aligning perfectly with the 'excellent' criteria of being 'fully renovated recently' with 'all components new or virtually new'.
