More Insights
Built in 1923 (102 years old).
Condition: Built in 1923, this home retains its original charm but requires significant modernization. The kitchen features dated wood cabinets, speckled granite countertops, and black appliances, indicating a renovation likely 15-30 years ago. Bathrooms have older-style gold fixtures, though the tile work appears to be from a similar renovation period. While the hardwood floors are in good condition, the overall aesthetic and key systems (implied by age and description of needing to be 'reimagined') are outdated and will require substantial investment to meet current quality standards.
