Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1972, this property is 52 years old and shows clear signs of significant deferred maintenance and outdated features. The kitchen is highly dated with original or very old white cabinets, laminate countertops, basic white appliances, and dated flush-mount lighting. General interior elements like the mixed flooring (older wood-look laminate and worn carpet) and basic light fixtures are also well past their prime. The MLS description explicitly states the home needs 'personal touches' and 'transformation,' and the property analysis notes it 'Requires Significant Updates' and has 'Potential for High Renovation Costs.' While not unlivable, it requires substantial rehabilitation to meet modern standards, aligning with the 'poor' condition criteria.
