More Insights
Built in 1938 (87 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1938, features a fully remodeled kitchen with new stainless steel appliances, granite counters, and modern white cabinetry, along with a recently updated, contemporary main bathroom. These key areas are in excellent condition. While the living room's parquet flooring and the rumpus room's wood paneling reflect an older style, they appear well-maintained. The downstairs bonus rooms have utilitarian concrete floors. The significant recent renovations to the kitchen and main bathroom, combined with overall good maintenance, make the property move-in ready. However, the age of the house and the lack of explicit details on major system updates (like HVAC, plumbing, electrical) for the entire property prevent it from reaching an 'Excellent' score, as some components may be older than 5-15 years.
