Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1961, this property is over 60 years old and shows signs of significant aging without major recent renovations. The kitchen features dated white cabinets, laminate countertops, and basic appliances, requiring a full modernization. Bathrooms are functional but basic and outdated in style. The presence of a window AC unit suggests an older or absent central cooling system. While the home appears maintained and livable, as indicated by the 'needs a little TLC' in the description, it requires substantial cosmetic and functional updates to meet current quality and style standards.
