This 1930s Mediterranean duplex is in move-in ready condition, showing high pride of ownership. While the structure is historic, it features essential modern upgrades including central air/heat and updated plumbing and electrical systems. The kitchens have been modernized with newer cabinetry, stone countertops, and tile backsplashes, and the original hardwood floors are well-preserved. It avoids an 'excellent' rating only because the appliances and some stylistic choices (like glass block walls) are not brand new, but it clearly exceeds 'fair' criteria as no immediate repairs or updates are required.
