More Insights
Built in 1924 (101 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1924, this property has undergone extensive and very recent renovations. The seismic strengthening in 2024 and completed sewer lateral certification address major structural and infrastructure concerns, bringing these systems to a virtually new standard. The kitchen features modern two-tone cabinetry, new countertops, a stylish scallop-tile backsplash, recessed lighting, and updated white appliances. The bathroom is richly tiled with a contemporary blue and white scheme, modern fixtures, and updated lighting. Gleaming hardwood floors are present throughout, and the overall aesthetic is fresh and move-in ready, aligning with the 'extensively renovated within 5 years' criteria for an excellent rating.
