More Insights
Built in 1920 (105 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1920, is explicitly marketed as a 'fixer' for the main residence, indicating substantial repairs and rehabilitation are required. The description highlights 'outdated main house infrastructure' including plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems, which are major components needing significant attention. While there's a 'recently updated remodel' guest house, the primary dwelling's condition, coupled with the visible exterior neglect (cracked driveway, unkempt landscaping, worn garage door), points to a property that is far from move-in ready and likely uncomfortable in its current state, aligning with the 'poor' condition criteria.
