Condition Rating
Poor

The property, with its main house built in 1979 and other structures in the 80s and 90s, is explicitly described as a 'cosmetic fixer' and sold 'as-is.' The kitchen features dated light wood cabinets, basic laminate countertops, and older appliances. Bathrooms consistently show very dated fixtures, small vanities, and basic tiling (e.g., pink/red tiles, white square tiles). Flooring is a mix of concrete and worn wood, and light fixtures are basic and outdated. There's no evidence of significant recent renovations. The overall condition indicates substantial repairs and rehabilitation are needed to modernize the property, aligning with the 'poor' category criteria for properties built over 30 years ago with no major renovations in the past 30-50 years, requiring significant defects to be addressed.
