Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Fair
TeardownExcellent

Property is moderate renovation needed.

Built in 1963, this property is in fair condition, showing a mix of minor updates and aged systems. While the interior features newer laminate flooring and updated stainless steel kitchen appliances, the home retains dated elements such as popcorn ceilings, original-style cabinetry, wall heaters, and window AC units rather than central HVAC. The bathroom is functional but dated, and the inclusion of a large un-permitted sunroom indicates the need for potential repairs or code compliance updates. Overall, the home is maintained but requires modernization to meet current market standards.
