Condition Rating
Excellent
Despite being built in 1886, this property has undergone extensive and high-quality renovations, blending historic charm with modern luxury. The description highlights a 'meticulously updated top-floor flat' (seller-occupied since 2014, suggesting a renovation around that time or earlier, but maintained to a very high standard) and 'Recent building upgrades' including a steel moment frame, new concrete foundation, and a 9kW solar energy system. The images confirm this, showcasing a contemporary kitchen with stainless steel appliances, modern two-tone cabinetry, and high-end countertops. The bathrooms are equally impressive, featuring modern vanities, fixtures, subway tiling, and hexagonal floor tiles. Hardwood floors are well-maintained throughout, and light fixtures are stylish and current. The combination of recent major structural and sustainability upgrades, coupled with the virtually new appearance and quality of the interior finishes, aligns with the 'Excellent' criteria of having all components new or virtually new, meeting current quality standards with no deferred maintenance.

Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 4258, other record living area = 2431. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 7, other record bedroom count = 3.
High Price Point: The listing price of $4,750,000 represents a significant investment, potentially limiting the pool of prospective buyers.
Complex Ownership Structure: As a '2-Condo building' with an association fee of '0', the ownership structure may involve complexities such as Tenancy-in-Common (TIC) or a self-managed two-unit HOA, which can present unique challenges in financing and shared decision-making.
Ongoing Maintenance for Historic Property: Despite recent upgrades, a property built in 1886 will inherently require continuous, specialized maintenance to preserve its historic character and address the natural wear and tear of an older structure.
