More Insights
Built in 1925 (100 years old).
Condition: Built in 1925, this property shows signs of being well-maintained but features dated elements that require updating. The kitchen has older cabinets, countertops, and flooring, despite some newer stainless steel appliances. Bathrooms also exhibit older tile work, vanities, and light fixtures, suggesting renovations were done 15-30 years ago. While hardwood floors in main living areas are in good condition, the absence of central air conditioning and the unpermitted garage conversion are significant factors that necessitate further investment and attention to bring the property to modern standards and full compliance.

Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 2.
