More Insights
Built in 1942 (83 years old).
Condition: Built in 1942, this unit has been 'remodeled & upgraded' with modern cosmetic finishes, including updated kitchen cabinets, countertops, backsplash, and faucet. The flooring in the kitchen and hallway appears new and stylish. A significant upgrade is the inclusion of central heat and air, which is excellent for a building of this age. While the property is move-in ready and well-maintained, the kitchen appliances (refrigerator and range) are visibly old and basic, preventing an 'excellent' rating. The overall condition suggests a renovation within the last 5-15 years, making it a solid 'good'.
