Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Fair
TeardownExcellent

Property is moderate renovation needed.

The property, built in 1957, appears well-maintained but shows clear signs of an older renovation or piecemeal updates. The kitchen features mixed appliances (some stainless, some white), dated countertops, and cabinet styles that are functional but not contemporary. The visible bathroom elements also appear dated. While the hardwood flooring is in good condition and the overall interior is clean, the aesthetic, including the exposed beam ceilings and stone accents, suggests the last significant updates were likely 15-30 years ago, aligning with the 'fair' category's description of being aged but maintained with functional yet outdated components.
