Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1925, this property is significantly aged with no apparent major renovations in recent decades. The kitchen features very dated wood cabinets, old countertops, and linoleum flooring, requiring a complete overhaul. The bathroom is highly outdated with specific black and green wall tiles and blue floor tiles, indicating a full renovation is necessary. Carpets throughout the living areas and bedrooms appear old and worn. A visible ceiling stain/damage in one bedroom suggests potential water intrusion or other structural issues that need immediate attention. While not a tear-down, the property requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation to bring it to modern living standards, aligning with the 'poor' condition criteria.
