Condition Rating
Poor
The property, built in 1955, is explicitly described as 'dated' and an opportunity for buyers to 'design, improve, and build real equity,' indicating a need for substantial rehabilitation. The kitchen features very outdated tiled countertops, old wood cabinets, older white appliances, and fluorescent lighting, requiring a complete renovation. Other areas show popcorn ceilings and dated wood paneling. While the description notes a 'solid structure' and some laminate flooring, the overall condition of major components, particularly the kitchen, suggests extensive cosmetic and likely system updates are needed, aligning with the 'poor' category's requirement for substantial repairs and rehabilitation.
