More Insights
Built in 1905 (121 years old).
Condition: Built in 1905, this property has clearly undergone renovations to be in its current move-in ready state. It benefits from a modern mini-split HVAC system, which is a significant upgrade. However, the kitchen features dated light wood cabinetry, a green tiled backsplash, and a mix of older (refrigerator, dishwasher) and newer (range, stacked washer/dryer) appliances. The bathroom, while clean and functional with a modern vanity and toilet, has very dated small square tiles in the shower surround and floor. The rustic wide plank wood flooring throughout, along with the specific yellow trim and stained-glass light fixtures, contribute to an overall aesthetic that is clean and well-maintained but significantly outdated. While functional, the kitchen and bathroom styles suggest renovations from 15-30 years ago, indicating that minor updates would be required to modernize the property's aesthetic.
