Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1951, this property has received several recent and significant updates including new flooring, a 200-amp electrical panel, simple LED lighting, fresh paint, and updated bathrooms in both the main house and the back house. These improvements prevent it from being rated 'Poor'. However, the kitchen is explicitly described as 'poised for a personalized finishing touch,' indicating it requires a substantial renovation to be fully functional and modern. Additionally, the property lacks central air conditioning and retains some rustic wood paneling, showing signs of being outdated despite the other updates. The required kitchen renovation is too significant for a 'Good' rating, placing it firmly in the 'Fair' category.

Cons
Unfinished Kitchen: The kitchen is described as 'poised for a personalized finishing touch,' indicating it requires significant additional investment and renovation to be fully functional and modern.
Limited Living Space: With only 594 sqft and 1 bedroom, the main residence offers very limited living space, which may not accommodate growing families or those desiring more room.
Single Bathroom in Main House: The main house features only one full bathroom, which can be inconvenient for residents and guests, despite the ¾ bath in the detached unit.
