More Insights

Built in 1904 (121 years old).
Condition: The property was built in 1904, making it a historic home. While the interior appears clean and well-maintained with fresh paint and updated laminate/engineered wood flooring, the kitchen and bathroom show significant signs of being outdated. The kitchen features functional stainless steel appliances (refrigerator, gas range) but has dated light wood cabinets and basic countertops. The bathroom is very basic with older fixtures and flooring, and a wall-mounted fan, indicating it has not been recently renovated. The property is livable and functional, but the kitchen and bathrooms would require substantial updates to meet current aesthetic and functional standards, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria for an aged home maintained with occasional updates but showing outdated major components.
