More Insights

Built in 1913 (112 years old).
Condition: This historic 1913 property has undergone extensive and high-quality renovations, bringing its key areas to an excellent, virtually new condition. The gourmet kitchen features newer, high-end stainless steel appliances (Viking), Carrara marble counters, and white shaker-style cabinetry. Bathrooms are beautifully remodeled with modern vanities, vessel sinks, and a freestanding tub. Hardwood floors are prevalent and in pristine condition, complemented by modern polished tile in some living areas and contemporary light fixtures. While the property's age and a less updated butler's pantry are noted, the overall impression from the description and images is one of meticulous restoration and recent, luxurious updates, making it move-in ready with no deferred maintenance in its primary living spaces.
