Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Built in 1975, this property is well-maintained but shows clear signs of being outdated, requiring cosmetic updates to meet modern standards.

The kitchen has been updated in the past with professional-grade stainless steel appliances and wood cabinetry, but the style is no longer current. The property is functional and livable but fits the criteria for minor repairs and significant aesthetic modernization.
