Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1872, this historic mansion is exceptionally well-preserved and maintained, currently operating as a boutique hotel. The interiors, including numerous bathrooms, feature period-appropriate Victorian styles with vintage fixtures (e.g., clawfoot tubs, pedestal sinks) and classic tiling, all appearing clean and functional but distinctly outdated by modern residential standards. The kitchen is a commercial-grade setup, functional for a hotel, but not designed or styled for a contemporary residential home. While the property is in excellent condition for its historical context and current use, its systems and aesthetics are significantly aged and would require substantial modernization to align with current residential quality standards and styles, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms.
