More Insights
Built in 1933 (93 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1933, this property has undergone extensive and recent renovations, bringing it to an 'excellent' condition. The description explicitly states 'beautifully updated,' 'modern upgrades,' a 'stunning remodeled kitchen with modern cabinetry, quartz countertops, and stainless steel appliances,' and 'thoughtfully renovated bathrooms' with new fixtures and a refinished clawfoot tub. Images confirm these updates, showcasing contemporary styles and finishes in the kitchen and bathrooms, and well-maintained hardwood floors throughout the main living areas. Crucially, major system upgrades including electrical, plumbing, insulation, seismic strengthening, and a high-efficiency gas furnace have been completed, indicating no deferred maintenance and meeting current quality standards. The partially finished basement offers flexible space but does not detract from the excellent condition of the primary living areas and critical systems.

Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 4.
Mixed School Ratings: Several nearby public schools have lower ratings (2-4), which could be a consideration for families prioritizing top-tier public education options in the immediate vicinity.
Partially Finished Basement: While offering significant potential, the 1,520+ sq ft basement is described as 'partially finished,' implying additional investment and effort would be required to fully convert it into completed, habitable living space.
Age-Related Perceptions: Despite extensive modern upgrades and seismic strengthening, the 1933 build year might still lead some buyers to perceive potential long-term maintenance considerations associated with an older structure, even with recent renovations.
