Condition Rating
Fair

The property was built in 1930. The kitchen has been updated with Wolf appliances and granite/maple counters, but the style is dated. The bathroom shown in the images appears original and in need of updating. The rest of the house appears to be well-maintained, but the kitchen and bathroom bring the overall condition down to fair.
