More Insights
Built in 1923 (102 years old).
Condition: Built in 1923, this historic unit features 'updated kitchen and bathroom' as per the description. While clean and functional, the images reveal that these updates are not recent or high-end. The kitchen has light wood cabinets, black granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances, but the overall style and basic tile flooring suggest an update from 15-20 years ago rather than a contemporary renovation. The bathroom features a basic white vanity, standard tub/shower with subway tile, and simple fixtures, indicating a functional but not modern aesthetic. The parquet flooring throughout is well-maintained but an older style. The presence of a portable heater suggests a lack of modern central HVAC. The property is well-maintained for its age and move-in ready, but the updates are dated, and major systems like HVAC appear to be older, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
