Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1980, this property shows significant signs of age and deferred maintenance. While new flooring is present, the kitchen and bathrooms are severely outdated, featuring dated cabinets, an older range, and basic fixtures, all requiring substantial renovation. Exposed wiring in the living area indicates potential safety concerns, and the overall aesthetic is cluttered and unkempt, necessitating significant rehabilitation beyond minor cosmetic updates.
