Condition Rating
Poor

Built in 1944, this cabin is 80 years old. While a new septic system has been installed and some flooring updated, the kitchen features very basic, outdated white appliances and cabinets, and the bathroom appears equally basic and dated. The description 'blank canvas, ready for you to make it your own' indicates that substantial rehabilitation is needed to modernize the interior and bring it to current living standards, aligning with the 'poor' condition criteria.
