More Insights

Built in 1971 (55 years old).
Condition: Built in 1971, this property is over 50 years old. While it benefits from a new roof installed last year, the interior, particularly the kitchen and bathrooms, is significantly outdated and shows considerable wear. The kitchen features original-style wood cabinets, worn laminate countertops, and very dated patterned vinyl flooring, despite having some newer stainless steel appliances. Both bathrooms have dated fixtures, basic tiling, and show signs of age, with one featuring a less desirable pedestal sink and an older shower enclosure. The laminate flooring throughout the living areas and bedrooms is worn, and walls show marks. The listing description itself highlights 'excellent renovation opportunities' and the need for 'significant updates to its interior aesthetics and functionality to meet modern standards,' which aligns with the 'substantial repairs and rehabilitation' criteria for a 'poor' condition score. While livable, it would be considered very uncomfortable by modern standards and requires extensive cosmetic and potential system updates beyond just minor repairs.
