Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1922, this property features highly outdated kitchens with old cabinets, worn laminate countertops, and basic older appliances. Bathrooms are also very basic and dated. While the property appears structurally sound and functional, it lacks modern amenities like central HVAC (window units are visible) and has not undergone significant renovations in many decades. It is maintained but requires substantial updates to kitchens, bathrooms, and potentially major systems to meet contemporary standards.

- Compact Living Spaces
With a total of 993 sqft for two units (1 bed/1 bath and 2 bed/1 bath), the individual living spaces are quite small, which might limit appeal to certain tenants or owner-occupants seeking more spacious accommodations.
