Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property features significant structural and system upgrades, including a newer foundation, updated electrical, plumbing, and a high BESO energy score. However, the interior condition is aged; the original hardwood floors show heavy wear, the kitchen and bathrooms appear dated, and the carpets and wall finishes require cosmetic attention. It is a well-maintained historic home that needs modernization to meet current aesthetic standards.
Despite its 1897 vintage, the home features critical structural and system updates including a newer foundation, updated electrical and plumbing, and high-efficiency radiant heating.
With a BESO score of 9/10, this property offers superior insulation and energy performance, which is exceptionally rare for a historic Victorian home and ensures lower utility costs.
The generous backyard includes a large storage room/garage with noted ADU potential, providing a significant opportunity to add value or generate rental income.
While public records reflect three bedrooms, the current configuration functions as a 2+ bedroom layout, which may not suit buyers requiring three distinct, private sleeping areas.
The mention of 'upside potential' and 'great bones' suggests that while the core systems are updated, further cosmetic investment may be needed to fully modernize the aesthetic.
