Built in 1957, this property is described as an 'ORIGINAL AND UNSPOILED GEM' with 'original formica countertops' and extensive pine paneling, indicating a lack of significant modern renovations. The kitchen features very dated knotty pine cabinets, green formica countertops, older appliances (or lack thereof), and carpeted flooring. Bathrooms also show very dated pink/peach tiling and older fixtures. Heating appears to be via wall-mounted units, not central HVAC. While these areas are functional, they require substantial renovation to meet current aesthetic and quality standards. However, the property is noted as 'beautifully maintained' and benefits from a newly installed roof, which is a significant update to a major system. This prevents it from being classified as 'Poor' due to structural or safety defects, but the extensive updates needed in key areas push it beyond 'Good' condition.
