Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1900 and on the market for the first time in 42+ years, this property features a 'vintage kitchen' and a 'full bath with shower over tub,' indicating severely outdated conditions. Without interior images, the description strongly suggests that the kitchen, bathroom, and likely all major systems (electrical, plumbing, heating) are well past their expected lifespan and require substantial repairs and rehabilitation to meet modern standards. The exterior image shows some wear on the fascia, hinting at deferred maintenance. While not a tear-down, it will require significant investment to update.
