More Insights
Built in 1912 (113 years old).
Condition: Built in 1912, this property features an updated kitchen with dark wood cabinets, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances, which appear to be from a renovation within the last 10-15 years. The bathrooms are clean but show signs of older updates, such as the vanity light fixtures and basic white subway tile, suggesting a renovation from 15-25 years ago. While the home maintains 'historical charm and integrated modern accents,' the overall age of the property (1912) means major systems are likely functional but aged, and the listing does not specify recent overhauls of critical components like plumbing, electrical, or HVAC. The property is maintained and move-in ready, but the updates are not recent enough or extensive enough across all systems to warrant a 'Good' or 'Excellent' rating, aligning it with the 'Fair' category where it requires minor updates or repairs and major components show signs of being outdated.
