Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1975, this property is nearly 50 years old. While the exterior appears maintained and the overall structure seems sound, the interior, particularly the kitchen and bathrooms, is significantly dated. The kitchen features original or very old wood cabinets, tiled countertops and backsplash, older white appliances, and a dated fluorescent light panel. The bathroom also shows an older vanity, light fixtures, and flooring. These critical areas require substantial renovation and rehabilitation to meet current quality standards and buyer expectations, aligning with the 'Poor' condition criteria for properties built over 30 years ago with major components showing significant age and requiring substantial updates.
