Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Fair
TeardownExcellent

Property is moderate renovation needed.

Built in 1964, this mixed-use property is functional and income-producing but shows clear signs of age. The residential units feature dated kitchen cabinetry, older appliances, and basic bathroom fixtures consistent with a property that has been maintained through regular upkeep rather than a comprehensive modern renovation. The exterior and interior systems reflect the wear typical of a 60-year-old coastal structure.
