Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1914, this property retains its 'old charm' but also its 'old style.' The description explicitly mentions 'old style freezer/refrigerator area' and 'formica counters' in the kitchen, and a 'small bath,' indicating these areas are significantly outdated. Images confirm a very dated bathroom with an old vanity and tub, and worn carpets in the living areas. While seemingly maintained, the property has not undergone major renovations in many decades, requiring substantial rehabilitation and updates to major systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) to meet current standards and comfort levels.
