More Insights
Built in 1921 (105 years old).
Condition: Built in 1921, this charming cottage shows signs of recent cosmetic updates in the visible living areas, including fresh paint, modern light fixtures, and updated flooring. However, the absence of images for the kitchen and bathrooms, coupled with the property analysis highlighting potential 'Age-Related Maintenance & Updates' for older infrastructure (plumbing, electrical, insulation), strongly suggests these critical areas may be outdated or require substantial renovation. While the home is maintained, it likely needs significant investment to bring key functional components up to modern standards, aligning with a 'Fair' condition.
