Condition Rating
Good
Built in 1914, this property has undergone significant and thoughtful updates that bring its condition to a 'Good' rating. The description highlights 'new electrical,' 'new appliances,' and 'new windows,' which are crucial system upgrades. The kitchen features modern white shaker cabinets, stainless steel appliances, subway tile backsplash, and recessed lighting, indicating a recent and stylish renovation. The main bathroom also appears recently updated with modern fixtures, vanity, and subway tile. While the original hardwood floors are well-maintained and add character, and some areas like the half-bath/laundry room have more basic finishes (older-looking tile), the overall impression is move-in ready with no immediate major renovations required. The property successfully blends historic charm with contemporary functionality in key areas, aligning with the 'Good' criteria of being extensively renovated within 5-15 years in critical components and having well-maintained systems.
