Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Fair
TeardownExcellent

Property is moderate renovation needed.

The 1930s ranch house is described as well-maintained with a new roof and stabilized foundation, indicating regular upkeep. However, with a 1930 build date and only one bathroom for a three-bedroom home, the residential structure is aged and likely features outdated interior styles and systems that require modernization to meet current standards.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
