Poor
TeardownExcellent
Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1900, this property shows significant signs of age and deferred maintenance. While the main living area is functional, the kitchen is dated (20-30+ years), and images reveal safety and structural defects including holes in the ceiling, unfinished drywall, missing electrical cover plates, and an incomplete garage conversion. The presence of an unfinished basement bathroom and raw OSB exterior on the garage indicates a need for a major rehab.
