Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1976, this multi-family property is well-maintained but shows significant signs of age. The kitchens and bathrooms feature dated cabinetry, older white or black appliances, and basic tile work consistent with renovations from 15-20 years ago. While functional and move-in ready, the interior finishes—including older carpeting, basic light fixtures, and traditional layouts—require modernization to meet current market standards for a higher condition rating.
