More Insights
Built in 1946 (80 years old).
Condition: Built in 1946, this property consists of multiple structures with varying conditions. While the main house kitchen has been updated with modern stainless steel appliances, white shaker cabinets, and granite countertops, its bathrooms feature older tile and vanities, appearing dated. The guest houses and secondary structures are significantly outdated, with very basic, older kitchens (e.g., old white appliances, basic cabinets, tile countertops) and bathrooms that require substantial renovation. The overall property, despite some updates in the main house, requires significant rehabilitation across its various living spaces to meet contemporary standards, as also suggested by the listing's own analysis of 'Age of Existing Structures' and 'Implied Renovation/Rebuild Investment'.
