Condition Rating
Good

This 1914 Craftsman has been 'lovingly restored' with significant upgrades including central air conditioning, complete rewiring, and updated plumbing, indicating major systems are functional and well-maintained. The bathrooms are 'completely upgraded' with modern tiling and glass showers, appearing clean and contemporary. While the kitchen features a 'vintage gas stove' and traditional countertops, it is clean, functional, and aligns with a 'farm style' aesthetic, suggesting a thoughtful renovation rather than neglect. The original wood flooring and moldings are intact and well-preserved. The property is move-in ready with no immediate renovation required, fitting the 'Good' criteria for a property extensively renovated within the last 5-15 years, despite its original build year.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Historic Authenticity & Restoration: Lovingly restored 1914 Craftsman with original wood flooring, natural wood mouldings, built-in buffet, and plate rail, preserving its unique historical character.
Mills Act Tax Benefits: Designated under the Mills Act, the property benefits from significantly reduced annual property taxes (approx. $2900.00), offering substantial long-term savings.
Prime Historic District Location: Situated in the heart of the Old Towne National Register Historic District, offering excellent walkability to the Old Towne Plaza, train station, and Hilbert Museum.
Key Modern System Upgrades: Features central air conditioning, complete rewiring, and updated plumbing, addressing major functional concerns typically found in older homes.
Exceptional Storage & Garage: Includes a huge attic storage space and an oversized new 2-car 'barn style' garage with an interior loft, providing extensive utility and flexible storage options.

Cons

Significant Price Discrepancy: The current listing price of $1.57M is considerably higher than the estimated property value of approximately $1.33M, potentially indicating an overvaluation relative to market data.
Partially Modernized Kitchen: The 'farm style kitchen' with a 'vintage gas stove' may not meet the expectations for a fully modern, high-end kitchen often desired by buyers at this price point.
Ongoing Maintenance for Historic Property: Despite recent upgrades, a 1914 home may still entail higher ongoing maintenance costs or require specialized care typical of historic properties.
