Property is extensive renovation needed.
The property, built in 1922, is over 100 years old. The listing explicitly states it offers 'room to personalize' and is an 'excellent opportunity to update and customize,' strongly indicating that significant renovations are required. Without any interior images, especially of the kitchen and bathroom, and given the property's age, it's highly probable that major systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) are outdated and require substantial rehabilitation to meet modern standards and comfort. The exterior images show an older, maintained but not updated structure, consistent with a property needing extensive modernization.
