More Insights
Built in 1924 (101 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1924, this property has undergone extensive and tasteful renovations, particularly in the key areas of the kitchen and bathrooms. The kitchen features modern white shaker cabinets, light quartz countertops, subway tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances, all appearing to be in excellent, recently updated condition. The bathrooms also showcase contemporary vanities with granite countertops, modern fixtures, and stylish tile work (subway and mosaic), suggesting recent updates. Throughout the home, dark hardwood/laminate flooring, fresh white paint, and recessed lighting contribute to a clean, modern, and move-in ready aesthetic. While not a brand-new build, the significant updates align with a property extensively renovated within the last 5-15 years, offering modern comfort and functionality with minimal wear and tear.
