Despite being built in 1981, this property has clearly undergone an extensive and very recent renovation, aligning with the 'extensively renovated within 5 years' criteria. The kitchen boasts modern stainless steel appliances, including a smart refrigerator and double oven, along with updated cabinetry and wood countertops. Light fixtures throughout are contemporary, and the flooring (hardwood and new carpet) appears fresh. The unique 'alpine-chic' design, featuring colorful wallpaper, mosaic tiles, and a 'zen-like' bathroom with a soaking tub, indicates a high-quality, intentional, and recent design overhaul. The property presents as virtually new in terms of its interior quality, style, and features, with no visible deferred maintenance.
