More Insights
Built in 1920 (106 years old).
Condition: This property has undergone extensive recent cosmetic renovations, including a brand-new kitchen with sleek finishes, updated LVP flooring throughout, new carpeting in bedrooms, a fully remodeled bathroom, and fresh interior/exterior paint. These updates make the home highly move-in ready and visually appealing. However, the original build year of 1920 and the visible window AC units in the bedrooms suggest a lack of central HVAC, which prevents it from meeting 'Excellent' standards for all major systems. While cosmetically excellent, the underlying older structure and cooling system place it in the 'Good' category.
