More Insights
Built in 1915 (111 years old).
Condition: Built in 1915 and explicitly sold 'as is,' this property requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation. The listing description and property analysis highlight 'outdated infrastructure' needing 'extensive updates to its plumbing, electrical, and potentially HVAC systems.' While it retains original hardwood floors and woodwork, these do not offset the significant investment required for major system replacements and a full 'reimagining' of the home, aligning with the 'poor' condition criteria.

Significant Renovation Potential: Described as a 'great opportunity to reimagine,' this property is ideal for buyers looking to customize and add substantial value through renovation.

Charming Vintage Architecture: Retains original character with hardwood floors, woodwork, a fireplace, and a formal dining room with a window seat, appealing to those seeking historic charm.
Versatile Outbuilding & Expansion Options: A three-car garage currently serving as a work shed offers clear potential for conversion into a guest house, artist's studio, or additional living space.
Cons
As-Is Condition & Required Investment: The property is sold 'as is,' indicating a need for significant financial and time investment for necessary renovations, repairs, and upgrades.
Outdated Infrastructure: Built in 1915, the home likely requires extensive updates to its plumbing, electrical, and potentially HVAC systems to meet modern standards.
