Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1952, this ranch-style home retains much of its original character and some dated features. The description explicitly states it needs 'a little TLC to be brought back to its glory days,' indicating required updates. The kitchen, a key area, features highly dated tile countertops and backsplash, along with traditional wood cabinets and an older-style range, suggesting a renovation from 20-40 years ago rather than recent updates. While the living room boasts charming high pitched ceilings and hardwood floors, and the exterior appears maintained, the overall aesthetic and critical areas like the kitchen show significant signs of being outdated and would require minor to moderate renovations to meet current standards and buyer expectations. Bathrooms are not shown, but are likely in a similar condition to the kitchen.
