Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1966, this property exhibits severely outdated conditions throughout, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms. The kitchen features original or very old wood cabinets, dated laminate countertops, and older appliances (except for a newer refrigerator), along with wood paneling and an old fluorescent light fixture. The bathrooms are equally dated with old vanities, countertops, sinks (one with pink/peach basins), worn flooring (small tiles and green linoleum), and old shower enclosures. Interior flooring consists of extensively worn, stained carpets and dated tiles. The overall aesthetic, including wallpaper and light fixtures, suggests any renovations occurred 30-50 years ago, aligning with the 'poor' condition criteria. The listing description itself implies the need for substantial rehabilitation, marketing it as a 'canvas for your masterpiece' rather than move-in ready.

Cons
Age of Property & Required Updates: Built in 1966, the home likely requires significant modernization and updates to meet contemporary buyer expectations, implying additional investment beyond the purchase price.
Overpriced Relative to Market Estimate: The current listing price of $1,095,000 is notably higher than the estimated property value of $954,701.8, which may indicate it is overvalued in the current market.
