More Insights
Built in 1880 (146 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1880, shows signs of recent cosmetic updates such as fresh paint, newer laminate flooring in some areas, and recessed lighting. However, the kitchen depicted is very basic and outdated, featuring older white appliances (refrigerator, range) and simple cabinetry, indicating it has not undergone a modern renovation. While some areas appear clean and maintained, the advanced age of the building and the condition of the kitchen suggest that significant updates or renovations are needed to bring it to current standards, particularly in the kitchen and potentially other major systems not visible in the images.
