More Insights

Built in 1941 (84 years old).
Condition: This property consists of two units with contrasting conditions. The front house, built in 1941, features beautiful hardwood floors and updated stainless steel appliances in the kitchen, but the kitchen cabinetry and especially the bathroom (with its pink/peach tiled countertop and tub surround) are significantly dated and would require minor updates or renovation to meet current aesthetic standards. The rear unit, however, is extensively renovated with modern features including handcrafted Shaker cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting, wood ceilings, and a jetted bathtub, placing it in excellent condition. Given the significant age of the original structure (1941) and the dated elements of the front unit, the overall property condition averages out to 'Fair', as it requires minor updates in one of its primary living spaces despite the high quality of the other.
