More Insights
Built in 1908 (117 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1908, has undergone partial renovations. The main kitchen and several bathrooms appear to have been updated with modern cabinets, countertops, and fixtures, suggesting a renovation within the last 15-30 years. Hardwood floors are present in some areas and are in good condition. However, other areas, such as the main living room with its wood paneling and older light fixtures, and a secondary kitchen/living area (likely an ADU or converted space) with older cabinets and basic appliances, show signs of being outdated or less recently updated. The presence of window AC units indicates a lack of central cooling. While key areas are functional and updated, the overall property exhibits a mix of updated and older elements, consistent with a 'fair' condition rating, requiring minor updates to achieve a more cohesive and modern feel throughout.
