Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1960, this property is over 60 years old. While the bathroom appears to have been updated, the style of the tiles and vanity suggests a renovation from 15-25 years ago, making it outdated by current standards. The living area features original elements like a red brick fireplace and exposed beams, which are also dated. Hardwood floors are present but not new. The kitchen is not shown, but it is likely consistent with the age of the house and other updates, suggesting it would also be outdated. The property is functional and maintained but requires significant cosmetic updates and potentially major system upgrades to meet modern tastes and standards.
