This property has been on the market for 101 days.
Built in 1920 (105 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1920, this property has undergone extensive and recent renovations, particularly evident in the kitchen and bathrooms. The kitchen boasts modern white shaker cabinets, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances, including a gas range and large refrigerator, all appearing virtually new and meeting current quality standards. The bathrooms feature contemporary vanities, black fixtures, and stylish tile work. Throughout the main living areas and bedrooms, the flooring is either new dark wood-look laminate/LVP or beautifully refinished original hardwood. The overall aesthetic is fresh, clean, and move-in ready, indicating a comprehensive update within the last 5 years for the visible interior components. While the age of the original structure might suggest potential underlying issues, the presented condition of the key areas is outstanding.
