Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1972, this property is explicitly marketed as a 'FIXER UPPER!' and shows significant signs of age. The kitchen features outdated tiled countertops, older cabinets, and terracotta flooring, despite some newer stainless steel appliances. Bathrooms, while functional, are not updated to modern standards. The overall aesthetic, including flooring (dated ceramic and terracotta tiles, older carpet) and light fixtures, suggests that major renovations have not occurred in decades. While the property appears clean and painted, it requires substantial rehabilitation and updates to its major components and finishes to meet contemporary living standards, aligning with the 'Poor' condition criteria.
