Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Good
TeardownExcellent

Property is move-in ready.

This 1910 Craftsman is in move-in ready condition, benefiting from recent cosmetic refreshments including freshly painted interiors, refinished hardwood floors, and updated kitchen cabinetry. The property features desirable architectural elements like soaring open-beam ceilings and a natural gas fireplace. While the home has been well-maintained and offers a versatile layout with a secondary kitchen on the lower level, it is classified as 'good' rather than 'excellent' because the updates appear to be primarily cosmetic (paint and cabinet refreshing) rather than a full-scale systemic or structural renovation of the 114-year-old structure.

  • Historic Infrastructure Risks
