Condition Analysis
See Full ReportOVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Poor
TeardownExcellent
Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1930, this 94-year-old 'original home' falls into the poor category due to its age and the likely need for a full rehab. While the bathroom and utility rooms are noted as updated and the home is currently livable for a tenant, the lack of information on major systems (HVAC/Electric) and the 'original' status of the kitchen suggest significant modernization is required.
