Despite being built in 1912, this property underwent an extensive remodel in 2024, bringing all major components to a virtually new condition. The kitchen features modern light wood shaker cabinets, white quartz countertops, a stylish tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. Bathrooms are fully updated with designer-grade tiles, new vanities, and modern fixtures, including new copper plumbing and drain lines. The home boasts new dual-pane windows, energy-efficient ductless AC units in every room, and a tankless water heater. Flooring consists of well-maintained original hardwood and modern LVP/laminate, complemented by recessed lighting throughout. This comprehensive renovation within the last year aligns perfectly with the 'Excellent' condition criteria.

Cons

Age-Related Maintenance: Despite the extensive 2024 remodel, a 1912-built home may still present unique maintenance challenges or require specialized care for its historic elements not covered by the recent updates.
No Traditional Central AC: While individual ductless AC units provide zoned cooling in every room, some buyers might prefer the aesthetic and centralized control of a traditional ducted central air conditioning system.
Unspecified Parking/Garage: The property description does not detail specific garage facilities or ample dedicated parking arrangements, which could be a consideration for buyers, especially with the potential for multiple ADUs.
