More Insights

Built in 1928 (97 years old).
Condition: This historic 1928 unit is move-in ready and well-maintained, featuring hardwood floors throughout and 'thoughtful modern updates' as described. The kitchen boasts marble countertops and a stainless steel Italian gas range, though some appliances (refrigerator, dishwasher) appear older. The bathrooms are clean and functional, but the tile style and pedestal sink suggest renovations that are not brand new, likely 15-25 years old. While not extensively renovated to a contemporary standard, the property shows minimal wear and tear and does not require immediate renovations, aligning with a 'Good' condition score.
