More Insights
Built in 1921 (105 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1921, the property has undergone extensive renovations, with over $400,000 invested in enhancements. The main bathroom features modern updates like a new vanity and subway-tiled shower. The kitchen is clean and functional with updated appliances (dishwasher, faucet) and well-maintained cabinets, though the tile countertops and flooring are somewhat dated in style. The property is move-in ready, and the completed electrical and plumbing for the ADU indicate recent major system upgrades. While not every component is 'virtually new' in contemporary style, the overall condition is very good and well-maintained.
