More Insights

Built in 1951 (74 years old).
Condition: This 1951-built home has undergone extensive and high-quality renovations, making it move-in ready. The lower-level guest suite features a 'fabulous kitchen' with modern white shaker cabinets, light countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a farmhouse sink, along with a very modern bathroom with a glass-enclosed shower and stacked laundry. The main kitchen is also updated with stainless steel appliances, a farmhouse sink, and wood countertops, though the dark green cabinets offer a more specific style. The primary suite boasts a luxurious ensuite bath with a soaking tub and fireplace. Flooring, lighting (recessed throughout), and overall finishes are updated and in excellent condition. However, the property's age (1951) and the noted 'absence of central air conditioning' in the main house (a significant system for the climate) prevent it from achieving an 'Excellent' score, which implies virtually all components are new and meet current standards, including major systems like central AC. The visible mini-split in the lower unit addresses cooling for that area, but the main house's cooling situation is a drawback.
