Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1898, this property's advanced age suggests that major systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) and interior finishes are likely outdated, even if functional. While the exterior appears maintained, there are no interior images to assess the condition of the kitchen, bathrooms, or other critical areas. The property analysis also highlights the need for potential updates to meet modern standards. It's likely habitable and maintained, but would require significant updates to move beyond a 'fair' condition.
