Fair
TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1965, the property shows signs of partial updates, specifically a newer tile surround in the bathroom. However, the overall age of the structure and systems, combined with the dated appearance of the exterior and fixtures, places it in the fair category requiring minor repairs and modernization.
