Poor
TeardownExcellent
Property is extensive renovation needed.
Property is over 30 years old (built 1991) and appears to be in original condition. The listing describes it as a 'diamond in the rough' with 'tremendous potential,' which are industry terms for a fixer-upper. Images show heavily stained/soiled carpeting and a dated bathroom with an aged tub surround. While the HVAC is noted as newer, the interior requires a full cosmetic rehab.
