Condition Rating
Good
Built in 1907, this Edwardian flat has undergone extensive and tasteful renovations, making it move-in ready. The kitchen features modern white shaker cabinets, stone countertops, high-end stainless steel Viking appliances, and recessed lighting. The bathroom is beautifully updated with classic subway tile, basketweave marble flooring, a clubfoot tub, and a modern vanity. Refinished hardwood floors are present throughout most living areas, and modern light fixtures enhance the updated aesthetic. While the key areas are significantly modernized and high-quality, the property retains its original architectural charm, indicating a renovation rather than a complete rebuild of all systems, aligning with a 'good' condition score for a property of this age.
