Originally built in 1936, the property is well-maintained but shows its age. While the description mentions a modern bathroom and updated studio, the kitchen features vintage appliances and dated tile work consistent with a renovation older than 15-20 years. The structures are functional and move-in ready but require modernization to meet current luxury standards.
