Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1960, this property shows no evidence of significant renovations. The kitchen features original, highly outdated avocado green appliances and tile countertops, while the bathrooms have original peach/pink fixtures and green tile, all indicative of the 1960s/70s. The overall condition suggests substantial rehabilitation is required to meet modern living standards, particularly in the key areas of the kitchen and bathrooms.
