Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1986, this property is in a state of significant disrepair and neglect. The kitchen requires a complete renovation, featuring exposed subfloor, makeshift counter supports, dated cabinets, and old appliances. Flooring throughout the home is either missing, heavily worn, or severely outdated (e.g., dirty carpets, worn parquet). Walls are scuffed and dirty, and light fixtures are original and obsolete. The exterior is unkempt. The overall condition indicates substantial repairs and rehabilitation are needed, aligning with the 'Poor' category.
