More Insights

Built in 1928 (98 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1928, the property has undergone an extensive, high-quality renovation, as evidenced by the description and images. The kitchen is a 'chef's dream' with high-end appliances, modern cabinetry, stylish backsplash, and designer lighting. The bathrooms are 'spa-like' with contemporary fixtures, new vanities, and modern tiling, including a freestanding tub and glass shower. Hardwood flooring is new throughout, and all finishes appear virtually new and meet current quality standards. The description mentions 'updated systems,' and an outdoor AC unit is visible in the images, indicating modern cooling. This property shows no deferred maintenance and presents as a recently and thoroughly updated home.
