More Insights
Built in 1925 (101 years old).
Condition: This 1925 Craftsman has undergone significant and tasteful renovations, particularly in the main kitchen and bathrooms, making it move-in ready. The main kitchen features high-end stainless steel Viking appliances, custom light wood cabinetry, and dark stone countertops. Bathrooms are clean and updated with modern fixtures, though some retain a charming vintage aesthetic. Hardwood floors are well-maintained throughout, and paint is fresh. While the property's age (1925) and the lack of explicit details on major system updates (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) prevent an 'Excellent' rating, and the guest apartment's kitchen is more basic, the overall visible condition and recent cosmetic updates are of high quality.
