More Insights

Built in 1922 (103 years old).
Condition: This duplex, built in 1922, presents a significant disparity in condition. One unit was extensively renovated in 2015, featuring modern elements like recessed lighting, hardwood floors, and a contemporary kitchen with a stainless steel hood and white countertops, placing it in good condition. However, the second unit retains its 'original charm,' showcasing very dated features, particularly in its kitchen (older wood cabinets, white appliances, tile countertops, fluorescent lighting) and bathroom (pink tiles, older fixtures). While functional and seemingly well-maintained, these areas require substantial aesthetic and functional updates to meet current market expectations. The overall property condition is therefore assessed as 'Fair,' reflecting that while one unit is move-in ready, the other half necessitates significant renovation to modernize.
