Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1926, has received recent cosmetic updates including a new roof, fresh interior paint, and new laminate flooring throughout, making it move-in ready. However, the kitchen features older cabinets, basic white appliances (refrigerator), and an antique wood-burning stove, lacking modern amenities like a built-in range/oven or dishwasher. The bathroom also presents an older vanity and basic shower. The absence of central HVAC, relying on a window AC unit and potentially the wood stove for heat, indicates outdated systems. While clean and functional due to recent upkeep, the kitchen and bathroom styles and features are dated and would require minor updates to meet contemporary standards.
