Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1913, this property is explicitly marketed as a 'handyman special' requiring 'extensive renovation.' While the kitchen has received some modern updates (cabinets, countertops, backsplash, flooring), it is critically incomplete with missing appliances and exposed plumbing. All three bathrooms are severely dated, with old fixtures, stained tubs, worn tiles, and one appears unfinished. Throughout the home, hardwood floors are heavily worn and scratched, carpets are stained and need replacement, and walls show peeling paint and general disrepair. The overall condition, including age-related system concerns (electrical, plumbing, HVAC), indicates that the property requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation to be comfortably livable.
