Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Fair
TeardownExcellent

Property is moderate renovation needed.

Built in 1980 and described as 'carefully preserved,' the home is well-maintained but features original architectural styles and finishes that are now over 40 years old. While functional and spacious with impressive vaulted ceilings, the kitchen and bathrooms appear dated, and the property lacks the modern renovations required for a higher rating.
