Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Fair
TeardownExcellent

Property is moderate renovation needed.

Built in 1949, this home is well-maintained and functional but shows its age. While it features some updates like granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and dual-pane windows, the overall aesthetic and systems are dated. The listing explicitly describes it as a 'value opportunity' for buyers looking to make improvements over time, which aligns with the fair condition criteria of an aged home maintained through regular upkeep but requiring modernization.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

    The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 8800, living area = 1578.

  • Exceptional Value Proposition

    Positioned as one of the lowest price-per-square-foot offerings in Kensington over the past year, this property provides a rare high-value entry point into a prestigious neighborhood.

  • Expansive Level Lot

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • Modernization Requirements
