More Insights
Built in 1922 (104 years old).
Condition: This duplex property presents a mixed condition. One unit, newly constructed in 2017, features contemporary finishes, including modern grey shaker cabinets, white subway tile backsplash, light wood-look laminate flooring, recessed lighting, and a modern bathroom with marble-look tile. This unit is in excellent, virtually new condition. The other unit, part of the original 1922 structure, shows dated elements such as older wood cabinets, white tile flooring, and an outdated bathroom with a pedestal sink and frosted shower doors. While functional and move-in ready, this older unit requires aesthetic updates to match current styles. The presence of a significantly newer, high-quality unit elevates the overall property condition to 'Good', as it is move-in ready with no immediate renovation required for at least one unit, and the newer unit's systems are well-maintained and within their expected lifespan. However, the disparity in unit conditions prevents an 'Excellent' rating.
