Original solid parquet is likely
- Ridgewood Condo was completed in 1977. Homes of this age often have solid parquet in the bedrooms or throughout, sometimes in herringbone or mosaic patterns.
- Expect worn varnish, grey patches, gaps and some loose pieces after decades of use. Most of it can be restored with repairs and a full sanding.
- Old solid parquet is worth keeping: it's thicker and harder-wearing than most modern flooring.
