Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Fair
TeardownExcellent

Property is moderate renovation needed.

Built in 1939, this duplex is aged but appears to have been maintained through regular upkeep. The kitchens and bathrooms feature dated cabinetry, older tile work, and mid-range appliances that show signs of wear. While the property is functional and includes security enhancements like window bars and gated access, it lacks modern renovations, updated flooring, and contemporary fixtures, making it a typical candidate for cosmetic updates.
