More Insights

Built in 1933 (93 years old).
Condition: Built in 1933, this Spanish-style estate has undergone significant updates, particularly in the kitchen, which was 'tastefully remodeled in recent years' with modern stainless steel appliances and a farmhouse sink, though the tile countertops are somewhat dated. One bathroom features a modern glass-enclosed shower and updated vanities, while others are clean and functional but retain older styles. Hardwood floors are well-maintained throughout much of the home. The property is move-in ready with no immediate renovation required, aligning with the 'good' criteria. However, the absence of central cooling (with a visible window AC unit) and some older aesthetic choices prevent it from reaching an 'excellent' rating.
