Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1954, this property shows significant age and wear, requiring substantial rehabilitation. The kitchen features very dated wood cabinets, speckled laminate countertops, and old tile flooring. The single bathroom is equally outdated with basic fixtures, an old vanity, and tile. Flooring throughout includes worn hardwood and dated tile. The cooling and heating systems rely on window AC units and wall heaters, indicating a need for a complete HVAC overhaul. The overall condition suggests major components require significant updates and renovations to meet modern standards, aligning with the 'poor' classification.
