Condition Analysis
See Full ReportOVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Poor
TeardownExcellent
Property is extensive renovation needed.
This property, built in 1900, is explicitly described as a 'fixer' that 'needs work' and requires 'extensive renovation.' The listing also highlights 'outdated systems & infrastructure.' While the exterior image shows a classic Victorian, it appears to be in a state consistent with a property needing significant updates. Given the age and the 'fixer' status, the kitchen and bathrooms are undoubtedly outdated and would require complete overhauls, along with major system replacements (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) to meet modern standards. It requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation, aligning with the 'poor' condition criteria.
