More Insights

Built in 1905 (121 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1905, this property has undergone significant recent updates, including fresh paint, new waterproof vinyl plank flooring, double-pane windows, and an updated kitchen with a new range and modern fixtures. The bathroom also features a modern vanity and fixtures. While the original structure is old and heating/cooling appears to be via wall units rather than central HVAC, the extensive cosmetic and functional renovations make it move-in ready with no immediate renovation required, aligning with a 'Good' condition score.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 610, other record living area = 471.
Compact Living Space: With only 610 square feet, the current 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom cottage offers a very compact living area, which may be a limitation for some buyers seeking more spacious accommodations.
Age of Property: Built in 1905, the property's age suggests potential for older infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical) that may require future maintenance or upgrades beyond the recent cosmetic improvements.
Significant Investment for Full Potential: While offering 'unlimited potential,' realizing this potential (e.g., building an ADU or new residence) will require substantial additional investment and planning beyond the initial purchase price.
