Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1948, this property is explicitly marketed 'AS IS' and as a 'rewarding renovation project' requiring a 'new vision.' The kitchen features severely outdated original-style wood cabinets, tile countertops, and an older dishwasher, necessitating a complete remodel. The bathroom is equally dated with bright green tile, an old vanity, and fixtures. Interior flooring consists of worn hardwood, stained carpet, and basic laminate, all requiring replacement or significant refurbishment. While central heat/air and a tankless water heater are present, the overall cosmetic and functional condition of the interior is very poor, indicating a need for substantial repairs and rehabilitation throughout the home.
