Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1962, this property shows significant age and requires substantial rehabilitation. Both kitchens feature very dated cabinets, countertops (laminate in Unit A, tile in Unit B), and older appliances. The bathrooms are also severely outdated with old vanities, fixtures, and particularly unappealing wall treatments in Unit A. Flooring includes worn, stained carpet and dated ceramic tiles. While functional, the property's components are well past their aesthetic and likely functional prime, making it uncomfortable to live in without major renovations. The description's 'a little TLC' is an understatement for the level of work needed to modernize the interiors.
