Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1876, this property is a classic 'fixer-upper' as described. While the listing mentions 'shining floors and modern kitchen,' the images reveal a kitchen with dated light wood cabinets, a 15-30 year old style backsplash, and a mix of appliances, some appearing older. The bathroom features a dated vanity, light fixture, and shower enclosure. The property appears maintained, but the visible updates are not recent, and major components like the kitchen and bathrooms are functional but show clear signs of being outdated, requiring minor to moderate updates and repairs to meet current standards.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Income-Generating Duplex: The property is a duplex with separately metered gas and electric, offering strong potential for rental income or multi-generational living.

Historic Charm & Character: The upper unit retains high ceilings, Victorian motifs, and decor, appealing to buyers seeking unique historical character.

Cons
Fixer-Upper Condition: Explicitly marketed as a 'fixer-upper,' indicating that significant renovation and investment will be required.
Age-Related Maintenance: Built in 1876, the property likely requires ongoing maintenance and potential updates to older systems, despite some owner improvements.
