Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1971, this property is over 50 years old and is explicitly listed as an 'AS-IS SALE.' The listing details highlight that major systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) and interior finishes are likely outdated and will require significant investment for modernization. The exterior image shows signs of neglect, including a dry, unkempt yard, debris, and potentially worn stucco. While no interior photos are provided, the age and 'AS-IS' condition strongly suggest that the kitchen and bathrooms are original or very dated, requiring substantial renovation. This aligns with the 'Poor' condition criteria, indicating a need for substantial repairs and rehabilitation, with major components likely requiring replacement or significant repair.
