More Insights
Built in 1924 (101 years old).
Condition: Built in 1924, this 100-year-old Craftsman home features a beautifully updated kitchen with modern white cabinetry, granite countertops, and high-end stainless steel appliances, suggesting a recent renovation in this key area. However, at least one bathroom (as seen in the images) is significantly outdated with original-era blue/grey tiles and tub, requiring a full renovation to meet contemporary standards. While other areas are well-maintained with rich hardwood floors and some updated light fixtures, the property's age and the inconsistency in renovation across all bathrooms, coupled with the MLS description's acknowledgment of potential outdated core systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC), place it in the 'Fair' category. It is move-in ready but requires minor updates in specific areas to achieve a fully modern aesthetic and functionality throughout.
