Condition Rating
Fair
This property, built in 1941, presents as an aged but maintained home. While it benefits from recent cosmetic updates like new interior/exterior paint and a new garage door, the core components, particularly the kitchen and at least one bathroom, are significantly outdated. The kitchen features older style wooden cabinets, dated granite countertops and backsplash, and older white appliances. One bathroom has a very dated pink tile surround and an older vanity, while the other is slightly more updated but still not modern. The hardwood floors show some wear, and while the electrical panel appears updated, the 'As-Is' sale condition and 'Older Home Systems' weakness suggest that major systems may require future investment. It is functional and clean, but requires minor updates to meet current aesthetic and functional standards.
