Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1954, this property is 70 years old. While described as a 'solid home,' the listing explicitly states it offers 'room to update and add value' and 'likely requires modernization and updates to meet contemporary standards and preferences, implying additional investment.' Without any mention of recent renovations or updated systems, it's highly probable that the kitchen, bathroom, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems are original or very outdated, requiring substantial repairs and rehabilitation to bring them to modern functionality and aesthetic standards. The lack of images prevents a visual assessment, but the age and description strongly suggest a condition that goes beyond 'minor updates' and falls into the 'poor' category, where significant overhaul is needed for major components and interior finishes.
