Condition: Built in 1908, this property is explicitly described as a 'diamond in the rough' requiring 'restoration and revitalization,' and is sold 'as-is' with no warranties on condition or habitability. The images reveal significant deferred maintenance, including peeling paint on the exterior, a neglected backyard, and very dated, basic bathrooms. The absence of kitchen images suggests it is either non-existent or in extremely poor condition. The property requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation, with major components and systems likely needing extensive replacement due to age and neglect.
