More Insights

Built in 1937 (89 years old).
Condition: The property features extensively remodeled kitchen (2020) and bathrooms (2022) with modern finishes, new appliances, and high-quality materials, making these key areas virtually new. The original solid oak flooring is well-maintained, and the overall aesthetic is clean and move-in ready. However, the property's original build year (1937), the unpermitted master bathroom and closet, and the noted absence of central air conditioning prevent it from achieving an 'Excellent' rating, despite the significant recent updates.
