More Insights
Built in 1909 (116 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1909, features a mix of original, well-maintained but aged elements (worn hardwood floors, textured walls, dated light fixtures) and functional updates. The 'modern kitchen' described in the listing appears to have been renovated 15-25 years ago, featuring oak cabinets, granite countertops, and white appliances, which are functional but not contemporary. While the roof and double-pane windows are positive updates, the overall aesthetic and condition of many interior components, including the flooring and the single bathroom (unseen but likely similar age to kitchen updates), indicate a need for further cosmetic updates to meet current standards. It is livable and maintained but shows its age and the age of its renovations.
