Built in 1963, this property shows signs of regular upkeep and some recent cosmetic updates, such as fresh paint and newer wood-look laminate flooring in the main living areas. However, the kitchen features dated tile countertops and older black appliances, indicating it has not been extensively renovated recently and would require significant updates to meet current standards. The bathroom, while featuring a charming clawfoot tub, also lacks modern amenities. Light fixtures are generally functional but not contemporary. A major concern is the disclosure of unpermitted additions and modifications, which introduces significant risk regarding structural integrity, safety, and potential future remediation costs, pushing the property's overall condition down despite its clean appearance. While not in a state of disrepair, the dated kitchen and the critical permit issues mean it requires more than minor updates to be considered 'Good'.
