Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1949, this 'vintage' home is well-maintained and functional but significantly outdated. While it features original hardwood floors and fresh interior paint, the kitchen contains older white appliances and cabinetry that lack modern updates. The property is clean and livable, but the inclusion of approved plans for a complete rebuild suggests the current structure and systems are aged and primarily hold value as a transitional residence or for the land.
