Condition Analysis
See Full ReportOVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Fair
TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property presents a contrast in condition; while the kitchen has undergone a recent modern renovation (likely <5 years) with new cabinetry and quartz-style counters, the 1913 structure is explicitly listed as a 'handyman special.' Visible plaster/drywall distress in the upper levels and weathered exterior elements indicate the home needs more than just cosmetic care to address its 100-plus-year age.
