Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1977, this property is explicitly described as a 'DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH' and the analysis notes it 'Requires Significant Investment/Renovation.' The images confirm that while the property appears maintained, the kitchen features very dated tile countertops, older white appliances, and light wood cabinets, requiring a complete overhaul. Bathrooms also exhibit significantly outdated vanities, fixtures, and finishes. The overall interior style, with extensive wood paneling and older flooring, indicates that major components are functional but are well past their aesthetic and functional prime, necessitating substantial rehabilitation to meet modern standards.
