Built in 1920 (105 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1920, this condominium unit has undergone an extensive and recent renovation, bringing it to an excellent, move-in ready condition. The kitchen features modern gray shaker-style cabinets, light countertops, and newer stainless steel appliances, including a wine refrigerator. The bathrooms are equally updated with contemporary vanities, black fixtures, and clean tile work. Beautiful hardwood flooring extends throughout the main living areas, and the unit benefits from central air conditioning and heating, which is a significant upgrade for a building of this age. All visible components meet current quality standards with no signs of deferred maintenance, aligning with the criteria for an 'excellent' rating due to a comprehensive recent renovation.
