More Insights

Built in 1949 (77 years old).
Condition: Built in 1949, this property is well-maintained but shows clear signs of being outdated in key areas. The visible bathroom (Image 22) features an older wood vanity, dated countertop, and an old-fashioned strip light fixture, suggesting a renovation from 15-30+ years ago. The kitchen is only presented through 'Virtually Enhanced' images (Image 9), which strongly indicates that the actual kitchen is not a selling point and likely requires significant modernization to meet current luxury standards. While living areas have good hardwood floors and architectural charm, the critical kitchen and bathroom areas necessitate substantial updates to align with contemporary tastes and functionality.
