Condition: Built in 1916, this historic Craftsman home retains significant original character, but the kitchen and bathrooms are very dated and require substantial rehabilitation to meet modern standards. The kitchen features an old-fashioned double basin sink and cabinetry, despite a newer range. Bathrooms have period-appropriate but outdated fixtures like clawfoot tubs and wall-mounted sinks. The listing itself notes 'Renovation/Restoration Required' and 'Potential for System Updates,' indicating a need for significant investment beyond minor repairs for key components and systems.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =17011, other record lot size in square feet = 16956. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 5, other record bedroom count = 12.
Renovation/Restoration Required: The property 'invites your creative vision' and the need to 'restore and steward' suggests significant investment may be required to modernize or update certain aspects, particularly given its 1916 construction and lack of mention of recent upgrades to key areas like the kitchen.
Potential for System Updates: As a 1916 build, the property likely has original or older systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that may require inspection, repair, or replacement, representing a potential future cost.
Extensive Grounds Maintenance: While beautiful, the expansive 17,000+ sq ft lot with established gardens will demand considerable ongoing time and financial resources for upkeep.
