Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Fair
TeardownExcellent

Property is moderate renovation needed.

Built in 1985, the property is well-maintained and move-in ready but retains many original features including dated cabinetry, tile flooring, and mid-80s architectural styles. While functional and clean, the kitchen and bathrooms lack modern updates, fitting the criteria for a home that is aged but maintained through regular upkeep without recent major renovations.
