More Insights
Built in 1924 (102 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1924, this property has undergone significant and recent renovations. The description explicitly states 'seismically strengthened in 2024' and 'sewer lateral certification is complete,' which are major structural and system updates within the last year. The kitchen is described as 'updated' and features modern two-tone shaker cabinets, white solid-surface countertops, a contemporary scallop tile backsplash, recessed lighting, and clean, functional white appliances. The bathroom is 'richly tiled' and 'refreshed,' presenting in immaculate condition with modern light fixtures, even if the tile style is a bit classic. Gleaming hardwood floors are present throughout the living areas and bedrooms. All components appear new or virtually new, meeting current quality standards with no deferred maintenance. The overall aesthetic is fresh, clean, and move-in ready, aligning with the 'Excellent' criteria for a property extensively renovated within 5 years.
