Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1959, this property retains much of its original character, as noted in the description, and visually confirmed by the images. The kitchen features highly dated wooden cabinets, laminate countertops, older white appliances, and linoleum flooring, suggesting a renovation, if any, occurred 30-50+ years ago. The bathroom is similarly outdated with pink/peach tiled shower surrounds and floor, and an older vanity. While the property has upgraded double-paned windows, the critical areas of the kitchen and bathroom require substantial rehabilitation to meet modern standards of functionality and aesthetics, aligning with the 'Poor' condition criteria.
