Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1973 and owned by the original owner, this property is explicitly described as 'ready for your personal touch' and needing a 'refresh,' indicating a lack of significant updates for over 50 years. The visible images confirm this with popcorn ceilings, dated flush-mount light fixtures, old carpeting, wood paneling, and older electrical outlets. While specific kitchen and bathroom images are not provided, the overall condition strongly suggests these areas, along with major systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC), are original or very outdated and will require substantial renovation and rehabilitation to meet modern standards and comfort.

Potential for Dated Systems: Built in 1973, the home likely has original systems (e.g., electrical, plumbing, HVAC) that may require inspection, maintenance, or replacement, incurring additional costs.
