Condition: Built in 1965, this property has received significant recent updates including a new roof (2024), new water heater (2025), fresh interior/exterior paint (2025), and refinished hardwood floors (2025). These improvements address major components and prevent it from being 'Poor'.

These areas require substantial renovation to meet modern standards, indicating it is 'not turnkey' and needs more than minor updates, but is functional.
