Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1962, this property is over 60 years old and the listing description explicitly states it needs to 'revive its timeless character and transform it,' indicating a need for substantial updates. The property analysis confirms this, noting it 'likely requires substantial updates to its systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) and aesthetics.' The absence of kitchen and bathroom images, coupled with the age and description, strongly suggests these key areas are in original or very outdated condition, requiring significant renovation. While not a tear-down, it requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation to meet modern living standards.
