More Insights

Built in 1945 (81 years old).
Condition: This 1945-built property is move-in ready and well-maintained, featuring richly finished hardwood floors and charming vaulted wood ceilings. The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with modern stainless steel appliances (including a Viking range), white shaker-style cabinets, and clean countertops, appearing to be a renovation within the last 5-15 years. The bathrooms are described as 'remodeled' with 'elegant stand-alone showers,' though the vanity area in one bathroom, with its tiled countertop and floral accent tiles, suggests a renovation closer to 15-25 years ago, making it functional but stylistically dated. While the property's age and implied lack of central air conditioning prevent an 'Excellent' rating, the significant updates in the kitchen and overall good condition of the flooring and other areas justify a 'Good' score, as it requires no immediate renovations or repairs.
