Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1984, this property has been well-maintained and features a charming English Country style. However, the aesthetic of the master bathroom, with its brass fixtures and dark marble-like countertop, along with the laundry room's cabinet style and backsplash, suggests the last significant renovation occurred 15-30 years ago. While functional and clean, these elements are outdated by current standards, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria for an aged but maintained home with functional yet outdated major components.
