More Insights

Built in 1948 (78 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1948, is well-maintained and move-in ready. The main house features hardwood flooring, fresh paint, and an updated bathroom with a new vanity and faucet, though the tile style remains vintage. The main kitchen has newer vinyl flooring and a new faucet, but retains older cabinetry and tile countertops. Crucially, the property includes a fully self-contained rear unit (ADU) which is extensively renovated with modern cabinetry, stone countertops, stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting, luxury laminate flooring, and a modern bathroom with a stall shower. While the main house's kitchen and bathroom styles are dated, they are clean and functional, and the significant, modern updates in the ADU elevate the overall condition to 'Good'.
