SUMMARY
Estimated Market Value
Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1973, this property shows signs of age with some updates. While it features beautiful wood floors and dual-pane windows, the kitchen retains original-style wood cabinets, tile countertops, and older appliances, along with a very dated mirrored backsplash. The bathrooms are particularly outdated with a dark, mirrored, and specific 70s/80s aesthetic, including black fixtures, requiring significant renovation for modern appeal. The absence of air conditioning is also a notable functional drawback. Overall, the home is maintained but requires substantial cosmetic updates to key areas.
