Condition Rating
Poor
The property was built in 1930 and has not been on the market for over 60 years, indicating a lack of extensive recent renovations. While the description mentions 'beautiful hardwood floors' and the guest house appears to have some modern updates, the main house's kitchen and several bathrooms are significantly outdated in style and features, likely from renovations 30-50+ years ago. These critical areas would require substantial rehabilitation to meet current quality standards, aligning with the 'poor' condition criteria for major components showing signs of being outdated and requiring significant updates.

Rare Market Opportunity: This property is being offered for the first time in over 60 years, indicating a unique and potentially well-preserved asset.
Cons
Significant Overpricing: The current listing price is 24% above the property's estimated market value, which may impact buyer interest and time on market.
Potential for Outdated Infrastructure: Built in 1930 and off-market for over 60 years, there's a high likelihood that major systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) may be original or require significant upgrades to meet modern standards.
