Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1927, this home shows signs of regular upkeep and some updates, but the kitchen is significantly dated with older cabinets, countertops, and appliances (e.g., the wall oven), requiring substantial renovation. While the bathroom appears recently updated with a modern shower and new flooring, and the main living areas also feature updated flooring, the overall age of the property suggests that major systems (HVAC, electrical, plumbing) are likely older and may need attention. It's functional but clearly outdated in key areas.
