Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1966, this property features a kitchen with original copper-toned appliances and classic mid-century cabinetry, indicating no major renovations in over 50 years. The overall interior, including carpets and light fixtures, is severely dated. Furthermore, the listing explicitly states that the 'Decking and entry stairs are in need of repair,' pointing to significant deferred maintenance and potential safety issues. While a newer roof is a positive, the property requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation, particularly in the kitchen and bathroom, to meet current quality and safety standards.

Cons
Immediate Exterior Repairs Needed: The decking and entry stairs are explicitly noted as being in need of repair, indicating immediate maintenance costs for the buyer.
Outdated Kitchen: The kitchen features original copper-toned appliances and classic mid-century wood cabinetry from 1966, which may require modernization to meet contemporary standards.
