More Insights

Built in 1921 (104 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1921, this property has undergone a beautiful and extensive restoration by an interior designer, blending historic charm with modern updates. The kitchen is thoroughly remodeled with modern, high-quality finishes, including patterned tile flooring, two-tone shaker cabinets, white countertops, a farmhouse sink, and stainless steel appliances. The bathrooms, while retaining a vintage aesthetic with green subway tiles and pedestal sinks, are impeccably clean and in excellent condition, reflecting a deliberate design choice rather than neglect. The listing explicitly mentions 'updated systems, a tankless water heater, and cooling systems,' indicating major components are new or virtually new. Hardwood floors and other flooring throughout are well-maintained, and the overall presentation suggests minimal physical depreciation, meeting current quality standards.
