Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1952, this property is well-maintained but significantly dated. The kitchen features functional stainless steel appliances, dark wood cabinets, and black granite countertops, which appear to have been updated 15-25 years ago. However, the bathroom is very outdated with 1950s/60s style grey and red accent tiles and an older vanity. Other areas show dated elements like popcorn ceilings, older track lighting, and a visible window AC unit, suggesting a lack of modern central cooling. While livable, the home requires substantial cosmetic updates and system modernizations to meet current standards, aligning with the 'Fair' condition category. The listing's emphasis on 'potential to expansion and rebuild' further supports that the current structure is not considered modern or fully updated.

Cons
Dated Original Construction: Built in 1952, the existing 1,416 sqft home is likely dated and will require significant renovation or a complete rebuild to meet modern standards and buyer expectations.
Modest Current Living Space: The current 1,416 square feet of living space is relatively small for a 3-bedroom, 2-bath home on such a large lot in this high-value area, especially given the property's potential.
Implied Need for Substantial Investment: The listing's emphasis on 'potential to expansion and rebuild' and 'plan for new home is ready' suggests the property requires significant capital investment beyond the purchase price to realize its full value.
