More Insights
Built in 1922 (103 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1922, has undergone renovations including a remodeled kitchen with granite counters and updated bathrooms, as well as the addition of two separate AC units (one being a mini-split) and hardwood/wood-look tile flooring. While these updates make the home functional and move-in ready, the style of the kitchen cabinets, granite countertops, and bathroom tiling appears to be from 10-20 years ago, showing signs of being outdated rather than recently modernized. The significant age of the original structure (over 100 years old) also implies potential for ongoing maintenance, aligning with the 'Fair' category's description of an aged home maintained through regular upkeep and occasional updates, where major components are functional but show signs of being outdated.
