More Insights
Built in 1923 (103 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1923, the property has undergone extensive and recent renovations. The kitchen is fully remodeled with new white shaker cabinets, modern black hardware, white quartz countertops, a contemporary tile backsplash, and new stainless steel appliances (refrigerator, dishwasher, range with vent hood). The bathrooms are also updated with modern vanities, black fixtures, and stylish tile work (herringbone and vertical subway patterns). The description explicitly states updated electrical (no knob-and-tube), new plumbing, and a newer roof, indicating major system overhauls. The flooring is well-maintained hardwood, and the overall aesthetic is fresh and modern, making the property virtually new in its critical components and meeting current quality standards.
