More Insights
Built in 1925 (100 years old).
Condition: This property is move-in ready with recent cosmetic updates including new flooring, fresh paint, modern window coverings, and an updated bathroom vanity and toilet. The kitchen appears functional with updated cabinets, though specific appliance details are not provided. While the home's original construction dates to 1925, the recent renovations make it comfortable and appealing. However, not all components are brand new or extensively updated to current standards (e.g., the visible wall heater, and the style of the bathroom shower tile), preventing an 'Excellent' rating.
