Fair
TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1963, the home is well-maintained and move-in ready but shows significant dating. While it features a newer HVAC system, the interior contains older finishes such as popcorn ceilings and dated bathroom vanities, suggesting major renovations are likely over 20 years old.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
