Poor
TeardownExcellent
Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1890, this 134-year-old property is significantly past the 30-year threshold for major systems. The listing description explicitly states 'some work needed' and highlights 'potential,' which are industry indicators for a rehab project. While the hardwood floors appear maintained, the kitchen and bathrooms (visible clawfoot tub and dated vanity) along with the likely aged electrical and HVAC systems require comprehensive modernization.
