The exterior shows significant deferred maintenance (peeling paint), and the listing explicitly states it is 'ready for updates,' indicating a need for a full rehab.

The 5,695 square foot lot is substantial for a downtown location and includes a rare detached two-car garage, providing excellent storage and ADU potential.
