Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1919, this home is well-maintained for its age with charming original features like hardwood floors and built-ins. However, the kitchen and bathroom are significantly outdated. The kitchen features very dated tile countertops and backsplash, and an older refrigerator, despite a newer range. The bathroom has classic but very dated green wall tiles, though the vanity and faucet appear to be more recent updates. While functional, these key areas require substantial cosmetic updates to meet current buyer expectations.

Cons
Age of Property: Built in 1919, the home's age may imply potential for older systems, deferred maintenance, or a need for updates to meet modern standards.

Association Fee: The presence of an association fee for a single-family residence is an unusual and additional recurring monthly expense that buyers should consider.
