The property, built in 1921, retains original features like wood floors and a Batchelder fireplace, but has been updated with quartz countertops in the kitchen, remodeled bathrooms, PEX/copper plumbing, and a new HVAC system. The kitchen blends vintage and modern elements, while the bathrooms show signs of remodeling, but one retains the original tub and tile. Overall, the home is move-in ready with a blend of old and new, suggesting updates within the last 15 years, but not a complete recent renovation.
