More Insights
Built in 1922 (103 years old).
Condition: This property consists of two homes built in 1922 and 1955, which are older structures. However, the listing explicitly states extensive recent renovations including 'new paint inside and out, new windows, new laminate and tile floors, updated kitchens and baths.' The images confirm these updates, showcasing modern white shaker cabinets, dark countertops, and stainless steel appliances in both kitchens, along with contemporary vanities, new toilets, and modern tile work in the bathrooms. The new laminate and tile flooring throughout gives a fresh, move-in ready feel. While the underlying structures are old, the comprehensive and recent updates to key areas like kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, and windows bring the property's condition to a 'Good' standard, making it move-in ready with no immediate renovations required. Without specific dates for the renovations of major systems (HVAC, electrical, plumbing beyond visible fixtures), it doesn't quite meet the 'Excellent' criteria of being extensively renovated within 5 years with all components virtually new.
