Condition Analysis
See Full ReportOVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Fair
TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1985 (39 years old), the property exceeds the age threshold for 'Good' condition without a documented full renovation. While the interior shows cosmetic updates like newer paint and crown molding, the presence of older wall-mounted AC units and the original 1980s layout indicate it is a well-maintained but dated unit requiring minor modern updates.
