Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1923, this property is aged and, while appearing well-maintained with rich hardwood flooring, it clearly requires significant updates to meet modern standards. The visible bathroom features an ornate, dated vanity and beige tiling, indicating it has not been recently renovated. The description itself highlights 'endless potential' and the need to 'reimagine and transform,' suggesting substantial renovation is expected. Without images of the kitchen, and considering the overall age and visible outdated elements, the property falls into the 'fair' category, requiring more than minor cosmetic updates but not in a state of disrepair.

Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 3.
Age of Property & Implied Updates: Built in 1923, the home's age suggests that major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) and finishes may require significant updates to meet modern standards, as indicated by phrases like 'endless potential' and 'reimagine and transform'.
Potential for Substantial Renovation Costs: The description strongly implies the property is a 'project' or 'fixer-upper,' meaning a buyer should anticipate substantial renovation and modernization costs beyond the initial purchase price.
Lack of Modern Amenities: There is no mention of central air conditioning, fully updated kitchen/bathrooms, or smart home features, which are often expected in properties at this price point and may necessitate further investment.
