Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1950, this property is explicitly marketed as a 'fixer-upper' and a 'blank canvas,' indicating it requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation. The images show dated interiors, including an older light fixture and potentially worn carpet, and a neglected backyard. Given its age and the description, the kitchen and bathrooms are almost certainly original or very outdated, requiring full renovation. Major systems are likely at or beyond their expected lifespan, aligning with the 'poor' condition criteria.
