More Insights
Built in 1947 (78 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1947, this duplex has undergone extensive and modern renovations, particularly evident in the kitchens and bathrooms of both units. The kitchens feature modern white shaker-style cabinets, dark countertops, subway tile backsplashes, and black/stainless steel appliances. Bathrooms are updated with modern vanities, white subway tile showers, and contemporary fixtures. Hardwood floors are present throughout and appear well-maintained. The overall aesthetic is clean, bright, and move-in ready. While the core structure is older, the significant visible updates bring it to a 'good' condition, indicating no immediate renovations are required, though some underlying older systems (not explicitly detailed as updated) might exist.
