Fair
TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1965, this home is functional but dated. While it features hardwood floors and granite countertops, the interior finishes—such as the checkered tile and painted brick fireplace—suggest renovations are likely 20+ years old. The listing acknowledges 'many ways to improve,' and the exterior landscaping requires significant attention, placing it firmly in the fair category.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Market Momentum Issues
The property has undergone three consecutive price reductions and exceeded 30 days on the market, suggesting initial overpricing and a potential struggle to attract competitive offers.
- Need for Modernization
While the home features some upgrades like granite countertops, the 1965 construction and listing notes indicate that further improvements are needed to fully modernize the space.
