Condition Analysis
See Full ReportOVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Fair
TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
This 1897 Victorian has been 'refreshed' with paint, but the underlying systems and fixtures are dated. The bathroom vanity and utility area show signs of 20-30 year old renovations, and the presence of wall heaters indicates older HVAC systems. It is functional but requires significant cosmetic and system updates to meet modern standards.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Vintage Infrastructure Risks
Due to the home's 1897 construction date, buyers may face higher maintenance costs or the need for significant system upgrades typical of century-old properties.

The 3,120 square foot lot is relatively small for a four-bedroom residence, which may limit outdoor recreational space or future footprint expansion.
