Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Fair
TeardownExcellent

Property is moderate renovation needed.

Built in 1982, this property is clean and appears well-maintained, but the interior, especially the kitchen and bathroom, is significantly outdated. The kitchen features original-style white tile countertops, older white appliances, and dated fluorescent lighting. The bathroom also has tile countertops and an older vanity/light fixture. While the carpet and paint seem more recent, the core wet areas would require substantial cosmetic updates to meet current standards. The property is functional but shows its age, aligning with the 'fair' category's description of being aged but maintained, with major components functional but outdated.
