Fair
TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1953, this home is well-maintained but significantly dated, featuring original tile countertops and cabinetry in the kitchen and bathrooms that exceed 30 years in age. While the original hardwood floors are a plus and recessed lighting suggests some electrical updates, the worn carpeting, aged kitchen appliances, and peeling paint on the detached garage trim indicate a need for cosmetic and minor repair updates throughout.
