More Insights
Built in 1914 (111 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1914, has received recent cosmetic updates including new laminate flooring, fresh paint, and a functional kitchen with white shaker cabinets and a stainless steel refrigerator. However, the property's age suggests underlying older systems (e.g., wall heaters, likely original plumbing/electrical). Crucially, the listing explicitly states extensive unpermitted work, including a wall, two bathrooms, and an entire in-law unit. This, combined with only one permitted bathroom for three bedrooms, represents significant functional and legal deficiencies that require substantial attention beyond minor updates, preventing a 'Good' score. While cosmetically refreshed, the unpermitted status and age of major systems place it in the 'Fair' category.
