More Insights
Built in 1930 (95 years old).
Condition: Built in 1930, this charming craftsman home shows signs of regular upkeep and some functional updates like AC and paid solar. However, the kitchen features dated light wood cabinets and a mix of appliance finishes (some stainless steel, some black), indicating piecemeal updates rather than a recent, cohesive renovation. Flooring is a mix of older hardwood and carpet. While clean and move-in ready, the overall style and key components like the kitchen (and likely the single bathroom, which is not pictured but inferred to be older given the home's age and lack of explicit renovation details) are functional but show signs of being outdated, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
