More Insights

Built in 1908 (117 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1908, has been well-maintained with gleaming hardwood floors, fresh carpet, and energy-efficient windows. However, the kitchen features significantly dated tiled countertops and backsplash, traditional wood cabinets, and mixed appliances, suggesting a renovation 15-30 years ago. The bathrooms are clean and functional but also reflect an older style. While move-in ready, the kitchen would likely require substantial cosmetic updates for most buyers, aligning with a 'Fair' condition.

Natural Light & Private Outdoor Space: As an upper corner unit, it benefits from abundant natural light through numerous energy-efficient windows. A private balcony off the primary bedroom, complete with a retractable awning, offers a dedicated outdoor retreat.

Cons

Age of Building: Built in 1908, the Victorian building, while charming, may present potential for older infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical) or unforeseen maintenance issues common with historic properties, despite recent exterior paint.
Lack of Central Cooling System: The property description does not mention a central air conditioning system, which could be a significant drawback for comfort during warmer months, especially for buyers accustomed to modern climate control.
Limited Private Outdoor Space: While there is a private balcony, as a condo unit, it lacks a private yard or extensive outdoor area, which some buyers seeking a 'single-family home feel' might desire for gardening or larger outdoor entertaining.
