Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Fair
TeardownExcellent

Property is moderate renovation needed.

The property, built in 1914, shows significant age and requires updates. While it retains some original Craftsman charm, the kitchen appliances appear dated, and the overall condition of the kitchen and bathroom suggests they are not recently renovated. The flooring in some areas may need attention, and the property is sold 'as-is,' indicating potential for deferred maintenance. The presence of older fixtures and the need for permit verification for an added bathroom further support a 'fair' condition rating, suggesting it's livable but in need of modernization.
