Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1920, this property is well-maintained and features some recent cosmetic updates such as new vinyl flooring and fresh paint. While move-in ready, the kitchen and bathroom styles remain dated, and the century-old infrastructure likely requires modernization of electrical and plumbing systems to meet current standards. It fits the 'fair' category as an aged home with functional but older components.

- Century-Old Infrastructure
Built in 1920, the property may require substantial investment in modernizing core systems such as plumbing, electrical, and foundation to meet current standards.
