Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1962, this property is well-maintained with some notable updates, but many elements show their age. The kitchen features granite countertops but has dated wood cabinets, an electric coil cooktop, and older fluorescent lighting. The bathroom benefits from a brand new walk-in shower and a granite vanity, which are significant positives. However, the carpeted living areas and bedrooms, along with the tiled floors in the kitchen and bath, appear functional but are not contemporary in style. While mini-split heat pumps provide modern climate control, the overall aesthetic and some fixtures are outdated, preventing a 'Good' rating despite the recent shower renovation.
