Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1910, this property is aged. While it benefits from significant system upgrades in 2021 (new central heater, dual-pane windows, tankless water heater), the listing explicitly states it 'needs some TLC' and is 'waiting for your personal touch.' The absence of interior photos, particularly of the kitchen and bathrooms, strongly suggests these key areas are outdated and require renovation to meet current quality and style standards. The property is functional due to recent system updates, but not move-in ready without cosmetic updates and minor repairs, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Recent Major System Upgrades: The property received significant upgrades in 2021, including a new central heater, energy-efficient dual-pane windows, and a tankless water heater, enhancing comfort and reducing immediate maintenance concerns.
Flexible Floor Plan: The two-story layout with two bedrooms upstairs and two downstairs offers a versatile floor plan suitable for a growing family, home office, or guest space.
Starter Home Opportunity: Described as a 'wonderful opportunity to own a starter home,' it presents an accessible entry point into homeownership, especially with modern upgrades already in place.
Ample Bedrooms and Bathrooms: With 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms across 1550 sqft, the property provides a generous amount of living space for its size.
Character and Potential: The home is noted for being 'full of potential and charm,' appealing to buyers looking to personalize and add their unique touch to a property.
Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1550, other record living area = 1488.
Requires Further Investment (TLC): The description explicitly states the home 'needs some TLC' and is 'just waiting for your personal touch,' indicating additional time and financial investment will be required for cosmetic or minor functional improvements.
Older Construction: Built in 1910, the property is over a century old. While some systems have been upgraded, an older home may still present ongoing maintenance challenges or require more extensive renovations in other areas.
Small Lot Size: The lot size of 2430 sqft is relatively small, which may limit outdoor living space, gardening opportunities, or future expansion possibilities for some buyers.
