Pros
The house has charming 1920s details including original built-ins and light fixtures. It’s outside the Fieldston Historic District, so renovations won’t be restricted.
Cons
The kitchen and other areas of the house are outdated. The roof was replaced in 2003 and hasn’t been recently inspected. Some buyers may desire a second full bathroom.
