Immaculate ORIGINAL PREWAR CONDITION classic 7-room estate, available for the first time in 71 years. Original kitchen and 3 original baths need total gut-renovation, including all new plumbing and electrical risers, new branch lines and shut-off valves. Electric panel, wiring behind walls, and receptacles need to be brought up to current code. Pristine herringbone and oak strip hardwood floors, which had been protected by wall-to-wall carpeting for decades, have been newly refinished to their original glory. Vented washer/dryer in unit OK.
