Condition: Built in 1923, this property is over a century old. While it has been maintained and adapted for its unique live/work purpose, the interior, particularly the kitchen, reflects a highly specific, artistic, and somewhat industrial aesthetic rather than modern residential luxury. The kitchen features a custom wooden island, industrial-style stainless steel counters, and brightly painted concrete/linoleum flooring, which are functional but outdated by conventional standards. General living spaces have hardwood floors that appear well-kept but not new, and lighting is a mix of track and recessed fixtures. The property is functional and livable, but its age and unconventional styling mean it would require significant updates and modernization to appeal to a broader market seeking contemporary finishes and features, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria.
