More Insights

Built in 1912 (114 years old).
Condition: This 1912 bungalow has undergone significant recent cosmetic updates, including new hardwood floors, new carpet, and fresh interior/exterior paint, making it largely move-in ready. The primary bathroom is well-appointed with modern features like double sinks and granite countertops, and the kitchen includes stainless steel appliances. While the second bathroom is notably dated with a green tub and older vanity, and the kitchen cabinets are not new, the overall condition reflects a well-maintained home with substantial recent improvements, fitting the 'Good' criteria of being move-in ready with some updated components, but not a full recent renovation.
