Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1951, this property is over 70 years old. While the exterior appears well-maintained, there are no interior images to assess the condition of the kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, or other critical components. The MLS analysis explicitly notes the age of the property and the 'potential for outdated features,' suggesting that major systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) and interior finishes likely require modernization to meet current standards. It is functional but shows signs of age and will require updates.
