Fair
TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1926, this home is nearly 100 years old and retains much of its original character. While functional, the kitchen and bathrooms are significantly dated (likely 20+ years since last update), and there are visible signs of deferred maintenance including peeling paint in utility areas and significant structural cracking in the backyard masonry/retaining walls.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- MLS Listing Discrepancy
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1750, other record living area = 1550.
- Vintage Infrastructure Risks
