Poor
TeardownExcellent
Property is extensive renovation needed.
The property features a main house built in 1972 and a cabin nearly 100 years old, both exceeding the 30-50 year threshold for major renovations. Interiors show heavily dated wood paneling, original-style kitchens, and basic bathrooms. Systems appear aged with wood-burning stoves as primary heat sources and visible exterior conduit, indicating the need for a full rehab to modernize.
