Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1913 and described as being in 'original condition,' this Craftsman home requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation. The images confirm an extremely outdated interior, particularly the bathroom with its original fixtures and lack of modern amenities. The kitchen, though not fully visible, is implied to be in a similar state. Flooring is worn, light fixtures are basic and old, and major systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) are highly likely to be original or very old, necessitating extensive replacement. While the structure appears sound, the property is very uncomfortable by modern living standards and needs a complete overhaul to meet contemporary expectations.
