More Insights
Built in 1922 (103 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1922, has undergone updates to the kitchen, roof, heating, and septic, as stated in the description. However, there are no images provided for the kitchen or the single bathroom, which are critical areas for assessment. The description also notes that updates were made 'while maintaining the original character,' suggesting that these renovations may not align with current modern styles. Visible interior elements, such as the wood paneling on ceilings and walls (even in the digital render of the living room), carpeted floors, and simple light fixtures, appear dated, likely reflecting renovations from 15-30 years ago. While the exterior and deck seem well-maintained, the lack of visual evidence for key interior spaces and the likely outdated aesthetic of existing features lead to a 'Fair' rating, indicating the home is maintained but would benefit from minor updates to meet contemporary standards.
