Poor
Built in 1958, this property is 66 years old with no indication of major renovations. The listing explicitly states 'The house needs much repair' and is being sold 'AS-IS.' The exterior images show a very basic, neglected structure with boarded-up windows, suggesting significant deferred maintenance and potential safety or structural issues. All major systems are likely original and require substantial rehabilitation, aligning with the 'Poor' condition criteria.
