Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Fair
TeardownExcellent

Property is moderate renovation needed.

The property is well-maintained and move-in ready, but the interior finishes are dated. While the roof was replaced recently (3 years ago), the kitchen features older tile countertops and appliances, and the bathrooms show styles from previous decades. Built in 1956 with renovations likely occurring 15-30 years ago, it meets the 'fair' criteria as major components are functional but show signs of being outdated.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • Recent Capital Improvements

    The roof was replaced approximately three years ago, providing significant value and peace of mind by deferring a major maintenance expense for the new owner.

  • Flexible Living Space

    The inclusion of a den with a closet offers the versatility to serve as a fourth bedroom, home office, or guest suite, maximizing the utility of the square footage.

  • Distinctive Curb Appeal

    The custom brick exterior provides a timeless aesthetic and superior durability compared to standard finishes, enhancing the property's character and long-term value.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • Permitting Uncertainty

    The potential fourth bedroom/den requires buyer verification of permits, which could lead to issues with official room counts, financing, or future resale value.

  • Vintage Infrastructure

    Built in 1956, the home may require modernization of its core systems, such as electrical or plumbing, to meet the demands of contemporary living and efficiency.
