Fair
TeardownExcellent

Property is moderate renovation needed.

The kitchen and bathrooms feature mid-century tiling, older cabinetry, and aged appliances. While the structure appears sound and functional, the interior finishes—including carpets, wallpaper, and wood paneling—require comprehensive modernization to meet current luxury standards.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
