Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1926, this property is explicitly marketed as being in need of restoration and is subject to a bankruptcy court sale. The listing description and property analysis confirm extensive deferred maintenance and the need for substantial rehabilitation. While the home features unique historic architectural details like a ship hull ceiling, the kitchen, bathrooms, and major systems likely require complete replacement to meet modern standards. The requirement for all contingencies to be waived further indicates the property is in a distressed state requiring significant capital investment.
