Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1901, this property is over a century old and shows extensive wear and tear throughout. The kitchen features very dated wood cabinets, worn laminate countertops, and older appliances, requiring a complete renovation. Bathrooms are similarly outdated with old tiles, basic vanities, and worn linoleum/vinyl flooring, also needing full modernization. Visible window AC units suggest a lack of central cooling, and exposed electrical conduit in a bathroom indicates an older, potentially non-compliant electrical system. The overall condition, exacerbated by its prior use as a sober living facility, necessitates substantial repairs, rehabilitation, and system replacements to meet current living standards.
