Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1917, this property explicitly states it 'needs a lot of work' and has 'immense potential to be someone's diamond in the rough,' indicating substantial repairs and rehabilitation are required. The kitchen, as seen in the images, is very dated with worn cabinets, a mix of older and slightly newer appliances, and worn hardwood flooring, clearly requiring a full renovation. The single bathroom (not pictured) is highly likely to be in a similar, outdated condition. While original hardwood floors are present, they appear worn. This condition aligns with the 'Poor' category, signifying a property that requires significant investment to update and modernize, though it is not a tear-down as it is currently tenant-occupied and has underlying potential.

The property boasts a 'Cute Stucco Covered Victorian' style with a 'Classic Victorian layout,' original hardwood floors, and many special touches, appealing to buyers seeking historic character.
Described as having 'immense potential to be someone's diamond in the rough' and 'priced appropriately' given its condition, offering a significant value-add opportunity for renovation.
The property explicitly 'needs a lot of work,' indicating significant financial investment and time will be required for necessary repairs and upgrades.
