Condition Rating
Poor

Built in 1972, this property has significant system updates including copper piping, newer water heater, central A/C, underground wiring, and a composition roof, which are major positives. However, the interior finishes, especially the kitchen with its dated tile counters and older appliances, and the worn, outdated carpets throughout, require substantial rehabilitation to meet modern living standards. The property is functional but aesthetically very uncomfortable and requires a major renovation of its visible living spaces.
