Condition Rating
Poor
The property, built in 1952, is explicitly described as a 'jewel in the rough' requiring an 'experienced buyer' and a 'new back patio/deck due to prior slope failure,' indicating a significant structural defect. The kitchen, as seen in the images, features very dated light oak cabinets, laminate or low-end granite countertops, small square tile backsplash, and dated tile flooring, all of which require substantial renovation to meet current standards. While some appliances might be newer, the overall kitchen style is severely outdated. No bathroom images are provided, but given the age and kitchen condition, it's highly probable they are also in poor, outdated condition. The combination of a major structural repair needed and extensively outdated key areas like the kitchen points to a 'poor' condition, requiring substantial repairs and rehabilitation.
