More Insights

Built in 1904 (122 years old).
Condition: This 1904 property boasts significant charm, recent updates like a 2024 roof, new carpet, and fresh paint, and a beautifully refreshed primary bathroom. However, the kitchen features notably dated tiled countertops and older black appliances, and some secondary bathrooms also show signs of age with tiled counters and older fixtures. While well-maintained and move-in ready, these areas require minor updates to meet contemporary standards, aligning with a 'Fair' condition rating.

Limited Air Conditioning: Air conditioning is only present on the third floor and in the office suite, meaning the majority of the home may lack central air, which could be a comfort drawback during warmer periods.
