Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Fair
TeardownExcellent

Property is moderate renovation needed.

Built in 1945, the property is well-maintained and functional but shows clear signs of age. The kitchen and bathrooms feature dated cabinetry, countertops, and fixtures consistent with renovations from 15-30 years ago. While move-in ready, the home lacks modern updates to major systems and aesthetic finishes, fitting the 'fair' criteria for an aged but habitable property with no recent major renovations.
