Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property was built in 1920, making it over 50 years old. While the residential unit appears clean and functional with updated laminate flooring and fresh paint, the kitchen features dated blue tiled countertops and backsplash, and the bathroom has a basic pedestal sink and older tiled floor. There's no central cooling, relying on window AC units. These elements suggest the residential portion has undergone some cosmetic updates, but the core kitchen and bathroom styles are significantly outdated, likely from a renovation 15-30 years ago, or simply very basic upkeep. The commercial exterior is also very utilitarian and shows its age. The property is livable but requires minor updates to meet current aesthetic standards.
