More Insights
Built in 1921 (104 years old).
Condition: Built in 1921, the property's description explicitly highlights its 'vintage character' and 'endless potential to update or reimagine,' indicating that the interior, particularly the kitchen and bathrooms, are significantly outdated and require substantial renovation. The lack of interior images prevents a detailed assessment, but the text strongly suggests major components need rehabilitation to meet modern living standards. The mention of an 'unfinished bonus unit' further supports the need for extensive work.

Maintenance Demands of an Older Property: Historic properties often come with higher maintenance requirements and costs compared to newer constructions, including specialized care for vintage elements and ongoing upkeep of an older structure.
