Condition Rating
Poor

Built in 1965, this property retains many original mid-century details, indicating a lack of major renovations in over 50 years. While the structure appears sound and the lot is desirable, the interior, particularly the kitchen and bathrooms, are severely outdated. The kitchen features dated white cabinets, black laminate countertops, and older appliances (except for a newer refrigerator), along with dated white tile flooring. All bathrooms exhibit original or very old fixtures, vanities, and small white tilework, requiring complete renovation. The flooring throughout consists of worn carpet and dated tiles, and many light fixtures are original. The property requires substantial rehabilitation and modernization to meet current quality standards and buyer expectations, aligning with the 'poor' condition criteria for requiring substantial repairs and rehabilitation, even if structural integrity is not explicitly compromised.

Potential for Outdated Systems: As a 1965 build, critical systems such as plumbing, electrical, and HVAC may be original or require significant upgrades, potentially leading to unforeseen costs for a new owner.
