Built in 1927 (99 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1927, this home has undergone significant and recent renovations, particularly in the kitchen and bathroom, making it move-in ready. The kitchen features new lower cabinets, modern countertops, and updated stainless steel appliances. The bathroom boasts a walk-in shower with new subway tile, updated plumbing, and new fixtures. Original hardwood floors are well-maintained, and exterior elements like the garage roof (with a new deck), rear patio, and front porch have also been recently updated. While the 'AS IS' clause suggests potential underlying age-related issues, the visible and described improvements indicate a well-maintained property with minimal wear and tear, aligning with a 'Good' condition score.
