Condition Rating
Poor
The property was built in 1910, making it over 100 years old. While the description states the units are in 'Good Condition' for their age and feature 'Gleaming Original Hardwood Floors,' the kitchen and bathroom conditions are significantly outdated. The kitchen features very old cabinets, laminate countertops, and dated appliances, suggesting a renovation 30-50+ years ago. The bathroom has a vintage green bathtub and old tiling, also indicative of a renovation from several decades past. The heating system consists of wall-mounted units, not modern central HVAC. Bringing these critical areas up to current quality standards would require substantial rehabilitation and extensive system replacements, aligning with the criteria for a 'Poor' condition score.
