More Insights
Built in 1931 (94 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1931, this property has undergone extensive, high-value modern upgrades that align with the 'Excellent' condition criteria. The MLS description explicitly states 'remodeled kitchen' and 'new bathrooms,' which are clearly visible in the images with modern white shaker cabinets, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, contemporary tiling, and updated fixtures. Key mechanical systems have been replaced or upgraded, including a new roof, paid-off solar system, tankless water heater, new sewer line, and updated 200-amp electrical, indicating a comprehensive renovation within the last 5 years. The original hardwood flooring is well-maintained, and the bonus unit also features modern finishes. While the main house lacks central AC, the overall quality of the recent renovations and system updates makes this property virtually new in its critical components and move-in ready.
