Fair
TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1964, the property is over 60 years old with no evidence of recent major renovations. Interiors show dated finishes including older ceramic tile and laminate flooring likely installed 20+ years ago. The presence of window AC units and wall heaters indicates a lack of modern central HVAC systems, and the kitchen cabinetry appears functional but significantly dated.
