More Insights
Built in 1926 (99 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1926, features a recently updated interior, particularly evident in the main living area and kitchen. The kitchen boasts a modern island with a light-colored countertop, gray shaker-style cabinets, and contemporary hardware. Updated LVP/laminate flooring is visible throughout, along with modern light fixtures and a renovated staircase. The description also mentions an 'in-law set up with a kitchen and a full bathroom' and a 'new huge steel building,' indicating significant recent investments. While the exterior shows the age of the home, it appears maintained. The lack of comprehensive images for all bathrooms and specific details on major systems (HVAC, plumbing, electrical) prevents an 'Excellent' rating, but the visible modern renovations make it move-in ready and well above 'Fair'.
