Built in 1937 (89 years old).
Condition: Built in 1937, this multi-unit property presents a mixed bag of conditions. The main residence appears to have undergone a recent, high-quality renovation within the last 5-10 years, featuring modern white shaker cabinets, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, subway tile backsplashes, updated bathrooms with contemporary vanities and tiling, and hardwood flooring. This unit would individually score 'Good' to 'Excellent'. However, the three additional units are significantly dated, showcasing kitchens with older white appliances, painted cabinets, laminate countertops, and bathrooms with older fixtures and tiling, likely renovated 15-30 years ago. These units also feature older carpeting or basic tile. While the property is described as 'beautifully maintained' for the main house, the overall condition of the additional units and the age of the underlying structure (87 years old) indicate that substantial updates are needed in most of the units to meet current market expectations and styles. The property is functional but shows signs of being outdated in the majority of its living spaces.
