Condition Analysis

Poor
TeardownExcellent
Property is extensive renovation needed.
Originally built in 1910, this property shows significant signs of age and lack of recent renovation. The kitchen is in disrepair with missing cabinet components and outdated surfaces, the bathroom is highly dated with basic fixtures, and the home relies on an aging wall furnace for heat with no cooling system. The worn carpeting and overall interior condition indicate a need for a full rehab.
