Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1959, this duplex is well-maintained and functional but retains much of its original vintage character and infrastructure. While the property offers exceptional views and a desirable location near Victoria Beach, the interior finishes, kitchen appliances, and bathroom fixtures appear dated and have not undergone a comprehensive modern renovation within the last 15 years, placing it firmly in the fair category.
