Built in 1910, the property retains significant original charm and well-maintained hardwood floors. However, the presence of older wall heaters and the lack of mentioned updates to kitchens, bathrooms, or electrical systems suggest the property is dated (>20 years since major renovation) and will require modernization to meet current standards.
