Good be a good buy depending on the market. It has zero curb appeal and clearly needs paint and some cleaning, which will scare off a lot of buyers, but easily fixed. The inside is gorgous in terms of detail.

Sadly the drop ceilings are likely covering up extensive damage to plaster ceilings. Maybe a pipe leak or something years ago. Cleaper to throw in a drop ceiing than actually fix it.
