Built in 1920 (106 years old).
Condition: Built in 1920, this home has undergone significant and recent renovations, making it move-in ready. The kitchen is modern with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and white cabinets. Hardwood floors are beautifully restored throughout most living areas, and the main living spaces feature updated lighting. While the bathrooms are clean and functional, their style appears to be from an earlier renovation or less recent update, and the overall age of the home suggests some underlying systems may not be brand new, preventing an 'Excellent' rating. However, the property is well-maintained and requires no immediate major renovations.
