Kitchen on first floor separate from living area probably detracted from buyer interest in today's age of open floor plan mania

$1.5M and not renovated. The living room banister is a very old-style as well. Better to tear it out and put in a metal staircase.

Looks like a reasonable listing price, but has been on the market for a while.
