More Insights

Built in 1910 (116 years old).
Condition: The main Victorian house, built in 1910, is explicitly described as needing significant renovation to 'bring it back to life' and requires 'hammer and vision.' Images confirm this with heavily worn hardwood floors, old and stained carpets, severely outdated kitchens (peeling paint on cabinets, old tile countertops, very old appliances) and bathrooms (dated fixtures, tile, and finishes). Walls show signs of wear and peeling wallpaper. While the separate ADU appears to be in fair, livable condition with functional but dated features, the primary residence's extensive need for rehabilitation and system upgrades (as indicated by window AC units and the property analysis) brings the overall property condition down to 'Poor'.
