More Insights

Built in 1930 (96 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1930, this property has undergone extensive and high-quality recent renovations, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms. The kitchen features modern wood cabinetry, updated granite countertops, a functional island, and high-end stainless steel appliances including a professional-style BlueStar gas range and KitchenAid French door refrigerator. Both bathrooms are fully updated with contemporary vanities, fixtures, and tiling (one with a striking blue floral wallpaper and LED mirror, the other with a modern curved glass shower). Other updates include restored wood floors, new-looking carpets, replaced furnace, and restored windows, indicating a property that is virtually new in its most critical components and meets current quality standards with no deferred maintenance.
