Poor
TeardownExcellent
Property is extensive renovation needed.
Originally built in 1918, the property features kitchen and bathroom renovations that appear to be 30-40 years old (1980s/90s style oak cabinets and tile-trim counters). Given the age of the home and the dated state of the secondary units and basement, the property likely requires a full rehab of systems and interiors to meet modern standards.
