More Insights
Built in 1928 (97 years old).
Condition: Built in 1928, this property is beautifully maintained with high-quality materials and appears to be in excellent physical condition. However, the kitchen, with its cream-colored cabinetry and granite countertops, and the primary bathroom, with its extensive grey marble and traditional white cabinets, reflect a style that likely dates back 15-30 years. While luxurious and functional, these areas show signs of being aesthetically outdated compared to current trends. The property has modern functional upgrades like an EV charger and generator, but the core aesthetic of key living spaces aligns with the 'Fair' category, indicating it's aged but well-maintained, with major components functional but showing signs of being outdated in style.
