More Insights

Built in 1900 (126 years old).
Condition: The main house has undergone extensive and high-quality renovations, featuring a modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances and contemporary cabinetry, along with updated bathrooms showcasing modern vanities, fixtures, and tiling. Hardwood floors are in excellent condition throughout the main living areas. While the property was originally built in 1900, the primary living spaces appear to have been extensively renovated within the last 5-15 years, making it move-in ready. However, the detached ADU's kitchen and bathroom are significantly older and more basic, and the underlying infrastructure of a 1900-built home, despite visible updates, may still present some age-related considerations, preventing an 'Excellent' rating.
