More Insights

Built in 1917 (109 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1917, this property has undergone a comprehensive and high-quality renovation, evident from the 'brand-new appliances' and modern finishes throughout. The kitchen features new white shaker cabinets, quartz countertops, and stainless steel appliances. Bathrooms are fully updated with modern vanities, tiling, and fixtures. New light-colored laminate flooring, fresh paint, and recessed lighting are consistent across both the main house and the converted living space. All visible components appear new or virtually new, meeting current quality standards with no deferred maintenance. While the converted garage is unpermitted, its physical condition and finishes are also excellent, aligning with the recent renovation of the main house.
