Fair
TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1968, the property is over 50 years old. While it features recent cosmetic updates including new luxury vinyl flooring and updated kitchen appliances, the core kitchen cabinetry and overall aesthetic remain dated (likely >20 years old). It is functional and well-maintained for a mountain retreat, but requires modernization of the kitchens and bathrooms to move beyond the 'Fair' rating.
