More Insights

Built in 1900 (126 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1900, presents a clean and well-maintained interior with updated flooring and fresh paint, making it move-in ready. However, both the main kitchen and the lower-level kitchenette feature dated cabinetry and countertops, despite having some newer stainless steel appliances in the main kitchen. The bathrooms also show signs of older renovations with dated tile work and vanities. While functional, these key areas would require significant updates to meet current aesthetic and quality standards, aligning with a 'fair' condition where major components are functional but show signs of being outdated.
