More Insights

Built in 1927 (99 years old).
Condition: Built in 1927, this estate features an 'updated kitchen' and a 'heated-floor bathroom' in one primary suite, indicating significant renovations. While the kitchen (wood cabinets, granite, older black appliances) and bathroom (vessel sinks, tiled) appear well-maintained and functional, their style suggests updates that are likely 10-15 years old rather than brand new. The property is move-in ready with a blend of timeless elegance and modern comfort, but the age of the core structure and the noted absence of central air conditioning prevent it from being rated 'Excellent'.
