Potential repairs1 General housework and maintenance, very hard to gauge from photos alone but the home appears to be in wonderful condition, there may be heat loss from the fireplace going on, the bathtub upstairs may be lending itself to some leaking and therefore flooring issues / water issues23Thoughts: This is a wonderful home that I wouldn’t mind picking up if it weren’t already sold and off market.
