We found 3 Cons,6 Pros. Rank: price - $525.5K(19th), sqft - 600(8th), beds - 2(32th), baths - 1(34th).
Turn of the century bungalow with noticeable enhancements to its original size. And though the street-level facade doesn't show, there is a 2nd basement floor. Excelsior style and age. Small, well-kept, it shows its age, and some of the alterations done historically are quaint, if not different. The actual (small) house sits at the rear of the lot

Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1916, this property shows significant signs of age and deferred maintenance. The kitchen is highly outdated with old cabinets, countertops, and a basic sink, requiring a full renovation. Visible water stains on the ceiling indicate potential leaks or structural issues, necessitating substantial repairs. While some appliances like the washer/dryer are newer, the overall condition, including outdated light fixtures, worn flooring, and an old wall heater, suggests the property requires extensive rehabilitation to be comfortable and meet current standards.
