Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1969, this property has received some cosmetic updates such as new laminate flooring and fresh paint throughout. However, the kitchen features dated white cabinetry, older white appliances (refrigerator, built-in oven), a dated black tile backsplash, and an outdated fluorescent light panel. The bathrooms also show their age with older vanities, light fixtures, and tile flooring, along with dated shower enclosures. The cooling system relies on wall-mounted AC units, which are less efficient and desirable than central air. While clean and functional, the core components of the kitchen and bathrooms are significantly outdated, requiring substantial updates to meet modern standards.
