Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Fair
TeardownExcellent

Property is moderate renovation needed.

Built in 1980, this property is well-maintained and move-in ready but shows significant signs of being outdated. While it features functional upgrades like a newer HVAC system, newer flooring, and fresh kitchen paint, the overall style of the kitchen and bathroom remains dated. The listing explicitly mentions the home is priced to allow for personal updates, which aligns with the 'fair' criteria for a property over 40 years old that has not undergone a full modern renovation.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • Great Schools

    Middle School: Beechwood Elementary School (9/10).

  • Enhanced Privacy and Layout

    This unique upstairs unit features no neighbors above or below, offering a rare level of quiet and privacy within a multi-family residential community.

  • Key Mechanical Upgrades

    The property boasts a newer HVAC system and a brand-new slider door, providing immediate value and reducing the need for high-cost system replacements.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • Limited Market Appeal

    The one-bedroom, one-bathroom configuration naturally restricts the potential buyer pool to singles or couples, potentially impacting long-term resale velocity.

  • Need for Cosmetic Modernization

    While partially updated, the property is priced to reflect a need for further interior renovations to meet contemporary aesthetic standards.
