More Insights
Built in 1909 (116 years old).
Condition: Built in 1909, this property features a mix of original historic elements and very dated renovations. While new copper plumbing is a significant upgrade and one bathroom appears recently updated, the kitchen is severely outdated with old cabinets, countertops, and flooring, and no visible modern appliances, indicating a need for a full remodel. The second bathroom is also very dated with old tile work. Furthermore, the roof is 34 years old, nearing or past its typical lifespan, and the listing description notes potential for other major system updates (electrical, HVAC) for a home of this age. These substantial repairs and rehabilitations in key areas like the kitchen, a bathroom, and the roof push the property into the 'Poor' category, despite some positive updates.
