More Insights
Built in 1925 (101 years old).
Condition: This 1925 Cape Cod craftsman home, while charming and well-maintained cosmetically with beautiful hardwood floors, falls into the 'Fair' category. The kitchen has been updated with modern stainless steel appliances, contemporary countertops, and recessed lighting, which is a significant positive. However, the bathrooms, while clean and functional, feature very distinct and dated tile patterns and fixtures (e.g., whimsical patterned tile, antique-style vanity, checkered green and white tile shower), indicating they have not been recently modernized. Crucially, the property analysis explicitly notes 'Age-Related Updates Required' for major systems like plumbing, electrical, and HVAC. While the home is livable and has good curb appeal, these necessary system updates, combined with the dated bathroom styles, push it beyond 'Good' and into 'Fair', where major components are functional but show signs of being outdated and require more than minor updates.
