Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Fair
TeardownExcellent

Property is moderate renovation needed.

This property, featuring two homes built in 1900 and 1966, is aged but appears maintained. While the main house has new carpet and paint, the kitchens and bathrooms in both residences are significantly outdated. The 1966 home's bathroom, with its pink fixtures, is a clear example of needing a full renovation. The 1900 home's kitchen and bathroom are rustic and functional but also require substantial modernization to meet contemporary standards. The property's core systems and finishes show signs of being outdated, necessitating further investment, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • High Available Lot Utilization

    The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 335412, living area = 1412.

  • Dual Legal Residences

    The property features two distinct legal homes, offering exceptional flexibility for multi-generational living, rental income, or dedicated guest accommodations, significantly enhancing its utility and appeal.

  • Expansive & Private Acreage

    Nearly 8 acres situated on a knoll provides unparalleled privacy, ample space for various uses (e.g., gardening, recreation, potential expansion), and a serene rural lifestyle.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • MLS Listing Discrepancy

    Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 5, other record bedroom count = 2.

  • Age of Structures & Ongoing Maintenance

    With homes built in 1900 and 1966, buyers should anticipate potential for ongoing maintenance and the need for updates to systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that may not be modern.

  • Limited Combined Living Space

    The total reported square footage of 1412 sqft for two legal homes (5 beds, 3 baths combined) is relatively modest, which might be a constraint for buyers desiring more expansive interior living areas.
