More Insights
Built in 1928 (97 years old).
Condition: Built in 1928, this unit has been 'restored' with fresh paint and new kitchen countertops/sink, and features well-maintained hardwood floors. However, the kitchen is very compact with older, basic appliances (range, refrigerator) that are not modern. The bathroom retains its 'beautiful original tile from 1928,' which, while a unique historic feature, presents a dated aesthetic. The light fixtures also appear older. While move-in ready and maintained, the kitchen and bathroom would likely require substantial updates for a contemporary look and feel, fitting the 'Fair' condition criteria.

Enhanced Privacy as End Unit: Benefits from being an end-unit on the 9th floor, sharing only one common wall, which typically offers more privacy and natural light.
Cons
Compact Living Space: With only 539 square feet, the unit offers limited living area, which may not appeal to buyers seeking more spacious accommodations.
Potential Lack of Modern Amenities: As a 1928 building, the unit likely lacks central air conditioning and potentially in-unit laundry, which could be a drawback in warmer months or for convenience.
