More Insights

Built in 1896 (129 years old).
Condition: Despite the original build year of 1896, the listing explicitly states this property is one of two 'restored originals, rebuilt from the ground up w/ original charm intact, yet every modern comfort in place.' This is further supported by the mention of 'modern electrical, plumbing, heating, AC, energy efficient & structural systems throughout.' The images confirm this, showcasing a brand-new, high-end kitchen with modern blue/green shaker cabinets, white quartz countertops, a farmhouse sink, and stainless steel appliances. The light wood flooring, contemporary light fixtures, and pristine condition visible throughout the home indicate a very recent and extensive renovation, meeting current quality standards with no deferred maintenance.
