Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1953, this duplex is functional and currently occupied but shows clear signs of age. While it has been maintained with updates like dual-paned windows, the kitchens and bathrooms feature outdated cabinetry, older appliances, and vintage styling. It requires cosmetic modernization and likely system updates to meet current market standards, fitting the profile of an aged but habitable property.
