More Insights
Built in 1914 (111 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1914, has undergone renovations, but the style of the kitchen (green cabinets, busy granite, archway) and bathrooms (gold-framed shower doors, dated light fixtures, older tile patterns) suggests these updates were likely completed 15-30 years ago. While the home appears well-maintained with newer laminate flooring and stainless steel appliances, many elements are outdated and would require minor updates to meet current aesthetic standards. The presence of popcorn ceilings further supports this assessment.
