More Insights
Built in 1912 (113 years old).
Condition: This 1912-built home is over 100 years old and the description explicitly states it's 'brimming with original charm and endless possibilities' and needs to be 'modernized to your taste,' indicating a significant lack of recent renovations. The provided images show a dated exterior with unkempt landscaping and clutter, and an interior living room with old fixtures and what appears to be original, worn hardwood flooring. The absence of kitchen and bathroom photos, coupled with the property's age and description, strongly suggests these key areas are severely outdated and require complete renovation. Major systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) in a home of this age without documented upgrades are highly likely to require substantial repairs and rehabilitation to meet modern standards, making it uncomfortable or potentially unsafe in its current state. The note about buyer due diligence for the guesthouse also hints at potential issues.
