Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1965, this property is described as a 'blank canvas,' which is evident in the images. The kitchen features very dated white tile countertops, older white appliances (double oven, refrigerator, dishwasher), and traditional white cabinets that appear to be from an older renovation. The bathrooms are also significantly outdated, with one featuring bold, busy wallpaper and carpeted flooring, and others having basic, older fixtures and tile. While the property appears structurally sound and livable, it requires substantial rehabilitation and modernization throughout, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms, to meet current standards and appeal. The overall condition suggests a major renovation was last done 30-50 years ago, aligning with the 'poor' category criteria.
