More Insights
Built in 1918 (108 years old).
Condition: Built in 1918, this property is explicitly marketed as needing 'TLC' and an 'extensive renovation project.' The exterior images show a dated appearance and a lack of recent maintenance, with clutter on the porch and patchy landscaping. Given its age and the description, major systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) are likely original or very old, requiring substantial repairs and rehabilitation to meet modern standards and safety. While the structure appears sound enough for renovation, it is far from move-in ready and requires significant investment.
