Built in 1929 (97 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1929, has undergone extensive and beautiful remodeling, as evidenced by the 'new flooring, fresh interior paint, and a solar system.' The kitchen features high-end Viking appliances and an oversized island, making it highly functional and modern in terms of equipment. While some bathroom styles appear to be from a renovation 15-25 years ago (e.g., specific tile patterns, gold-tone shower frames), they are well-maintained and fully functional, not requiring immediate updates. The overall condition is move-in ready, with major systems appearing well-maintained, aligning with the 'Good' criteria for a property extensively renovated within the last 5-15 years, even if not all components are brand new to current trends.
