Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1927, this property shows signs of a basic renovation likely performed 15-20 years ago, including vinyl windows and laminate flooring. However, the kitchen remains dated with laminate countertops and older appliances. The lack of a central HVAC system (relying on wall heaters and window AC units) and the overall age of the structure place it in the Fair category, as it is functional but needs modernization and system upgrades.
