TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1977 (47 years old), the property is dated and falls into the 'Fair' category. While essential 'groundwork' like a new roof and some plumbing has been completed, the lack of mentioned kitchen or bathroom renovations suggests the interior systems and finishes are likely 20+ years old and in need of modern updates.
