The property, built in 1977, has undergone some recent cosmetic updates including faux hardwood flooring, updated white kitchen cabinets, laminate countertops, and recessed lighting. However, these updates appear to be budget-friendly (e.g., white appliances, laminate counters) and one bedroom still features older, dated carpet. Crucially, the listing explicitly states that significant portions of the home, including converted garage and bonus areas, resulting in an expansion from 3 beds/2 baths to 6 beds/3 baths and increased square footage, were done without permits. This lack of permits represents a substantial defect affecting the property's legality, potential safety, and structural integrity, requiring significant repairs and rehabilitation to bring it up to code. While cosmetically some areas look refreshed, the fundamental issue of unpermitted conversions outweighs these updates and places the property in a 'poor' condition category due to the substantial work and liability required.
