Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1954, this property shows its age significantly in key areas. While some living spaces feature hardwood floors and updated lighting, the kitchen and bathrooms are severely outdated. The kitchen has older painted cabinets, dated granite countertops, and older black appliances (except for a newer refrigerator). The bathroom, with its green tiled walls, floor, and sink, appears to be original or from a very early renovation (likely 30-50+ years ago), requiring a complete overhaul to meet modern standards. The property description itself highlights 'exceptional potential for updates, reconfiguration' and the property analysis explicitly states 'Requires Significant Renovation' as a weakness. While the home is livable, the substantial investment needed to modernize the kitchen and bathrooms, coupled with the age of the property and likely older systems, places it in the 'poor' condition category, requiring substantial rehabilitation.

Cons
Requires Significant Renovation: The description explicitly highlights 'exceptional potential for updates, reconfiguration,' indicating that the property likely requires substantial investment to modernize and maximize its value.
Older Systems/Infrastructure: Built in 1954, the home may feature older electrical, plumbing, and heating systems that could require upgrades or replacement in the near future, adding to potential ownership costs.
Lack of Explicit Modern Amenities: The property description does not mention key modern amenities such as central air conditioning or fully updated kitchens/bathrooms (beyond LVP flooring), suggesting these may be absent or need to be installed by the new owner.
