More Insights
Built in 1914 (111 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1914, is over a century old. While it has received recent cosmetic updates, including 'some updated lighting and flooring' in the kitchen with Corian counters and white appliances, and 'some remodeling with new vanities, mirrors, sinks and tub/shower combos' in the bathrooms, these appear to be refreshes rather than extensive, full-scale renovations. The flooring is updated to LVP/laminate, which is practical. However, the age of the core structure suggests that major systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC for the main house) are likely older and may show signs of being outdated, even if functional. The property is move-in ready due to the cosmetic improvements, but the underlying age and potential for older infrastructure prevent it from reaching a 'Good' rating.
