Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1906, this property explicitly states it 'requires TLC' and is a 'perfect project for a Fix-and-flip,' indicating substantial work is needed. The images confirm this, showing an extremely outdated kitchen with old cabinets, worn countertops, an old refrigerator, and damaged flooring. The bathroom is equally dated with an old vanity, worn tub (with decorative stickers), and old-fashioned tiling and paneling. General areas show worn hardwood floors, dirty carpets on the stairs, and dated wall paneling. The exterior also shows signs of peeling paint and deferred maintenance. This property requires extensive rehabilitation and major system replacements to be comfortable and up to modern standards.
