Fair
TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property, described as having 'contemporary charms of the 60's' and a 'hidden gem waiting to be polished,' clearly indicates it is aged and requires significant modernization. While the description mentions 'two updated bathrooms,' visual inspection of the images reveals these updates are older in style (e.g., beige tiled shower surrounds, wood vanities) and not recent, likely falling within the 15-30 year renovation timeframe for a 'fair' rating. The kitchen features dated wood cabinets, speckled laminate countertops, and older black appliances, though the mosaic backsplash appears to be a more recent, albeit not high-end, addition. The hardwood floors throughout are visibly worn and scratched, requiring refinishing. Heating is provided by wall-mounted units, not a modern central system. Overall, the unit is functional and appears maintained, but its aesthetic and many components are outdated, necessitating substantial updates to meet current quality standards, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Great Schools
Elementary School: Chinese Immersion School At Deavila (9/10). Middle School: Lilienthal (Claire) Elementary School (9/10). High School: Lowell High School (10/10).

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Cooperative Ownership Structure
The property is a 'Stock Cooperative,' which typically entails stricter rules, board approval for sales and renovations, and potentially more complex financing options compared to traditional condominiums.
- Requires Significant Renovation
While offering potential, the unit's 'contemporary charms of the 60's' and description as needing to be 'polished' indicate that substantial renovation and modernization will be required to update its aesthetic and functionality.
- High Monthly Association Fees
The association fee of $1395 per month is considerably high, adding a significant ongoing cost to homeownership that could impact long-term affordability and buyer interest.
