More Insights
Built in 1904 (122 years old).
Condition: Built in 1904/1907, this property is over 100 years old with no indication of major renovations. The exterior images reveal significant deferred maintenance, including weathered siding, worn stairs, and an unkempt utility area at the back of the house, suggesting outdated and potentially unsafe systems. The property analysis explicitly states it 'likely requires significant updates to systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical) and general modernization, incurring substantial capital expenditure.' Without interior photos, it's reasonable to assume the kitchen and bathrooms are also in a very outdated and poor condition, requiring substantial repairs and rehabilitation.
