More Insights

Built in 1926 (99 years old).
Condition: This 1926 Spanish-style home has been 'tastefully remodeled' and 'recently refreshed,' making it move-in ready. The kitchen features updated light wood cabinetry, modern appliances (implied by the visible range hood), and well-maintained tile flooring. Bathrooms are also updated with modern vanities, fixtures, and clean tile work. While the property retains its historic charm and has undergone significant aesthetic improvements, the lack of explicit details regarding the age and condition of all major systems (such as HVAC, plumbing, and electrical) and the absence of a specified cooling system, given its original build year, prevent it from reaching an 'Excellent' score, which would typically indicate a comprehensive, very recent renovation of all components to new standards.
