Property is moderate renovation needed.
This 1905 Victorian is functional but dated, having been held by the same owner for over 40 years. The kitchen features oak cabinetry and finishes consistent with a 20-30 year old renovation, and the listing explicitly states the home is 'waiting to be reinvented.' While some bathrooms show more recent mid-range updates, the presence of digitally altered images to mask unfinished walls and the mix of original and dated materials indicate a need for significant cosmetic and system updates.
